Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A novel genic male-sterile mutant ms40 was obtained from EMS treated RP125. The key candidate gene ZmbHLH51 located on chromosome 4 was identified by map-based cloning. This study further enriched the male sterile gene resources for both production applications and theoretical studies of abortion mechanisms. Maize male-sterile mutant 40 (ms40) was obtained from the progeny of the ethyl...
