Abstract excerpt
Genic male sterility (GMS) is a critical resource for heterosis application in crop breeding. Therefore, it is crucial to identify GMS candidate genes and uncover their regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identified a maize male-sterile mutant, Ky335ms, exhibiting stunted tassel development, shriveled anthers, and the absence of mature pollen grains. Cytological observations revealed that tapetal degradation in...
