Strictosidine Synthase-like Gene NMS1 Is Required for Male Fertility in Rice by Regulating Tapetal Degradation.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Male sterility is a critical trait for large-scale hybrid rice seed production, yet the genetic and molecular regulatory networks governing tapetal degradation during anther development remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to clone the causal gene underlying a novel rice non-pollen male sterility mutant and elucidate its role in tapetal development and microsporogenesis. Methods: The nms1...
