A backcross population derived from a cross between the dominant genic male sterile line Rs1046A and the double-low cultivar 'Samourai' was used for linkage map construction in Brassica napus. A linkage map with a total length of 2 646 cM was developed using 138 AFLP markers, 83 SSR markers and one morphology trait, which were distributed over 18 major linkage groups, two triplets and one linkage pair. 11.7% of the mapped markers distorted from the expected 1:1 ratio. The dominant genic male sterility gene (Ms) was mapped in LG10 and surrounded by five closely linked AFLP markers. Meanwhile,two evident marker segregation distortion regions were observed in both LG8 and LG16. The map constructed in the present study and the mapping of Ms gene are highly valuable in designing marker-assisted breeding program for the genic male sterile two-type line in Brassica napus. They are also important to map-based cloning of the Ms gene and to better understanding of the mechanism of genic male sterility at molecular level.

Estrogen through its receptors, ERα and ERβ, regulate various aspects of spermatogenesis and male fertility. Since the sperm epigenome is an important contributing factor to male fertility, we evaluated the effects of estrogen signaling activation through the ERs on sperm DNA methylome in adult rats. Whole genome-bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) in caudal sperm DNA was performed.

Glume-opening of thermosensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) rice ( L.) lines after anthesis is a serious problem that significantly reduces the yield and quality of hybrid seeds. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating the opening and closing of rice glumes remain largely unclear.

In order to improve both resistance to lepidopteran pests and resistance to the herbicide imazethapyr in mainstay varieties of the Huang-Huai rice region, Sanming dominant genic male sterile (S-DGMS) rice was used as a platform to facilitate the pyramiding of functional genes and the replacement of the genomic background. Twelve novel lines were developed, each carrying a crystal toxin gene conferring resistance to lepidopteran pests and the allele conferring resistance to herbicide imazethapyr in the background of a mainstay variety. The genomic background of the 12 novel lines was examined using 48 specified molecular markers, and each line carried less than two polymorphic markers relative to the corresponding mainstay variety.

Lipid metabolism is critical for male reproduction in plants. Many lipid-metabolic genic male-sterility (GMS) genes function in the anther tapetal endoplasmic reticulum, while little is known about GMS genes involved in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in the anther tapetal plastid. In this study, we identify a maize male-sterile mutant, enr1, with early tapetal degradation, defective anther cuticle, and pollen exine.

Photoperiod- and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) lines display male sterility under high-temperature/long-day light conditions and male fertility under low-temperature/short-day light conditions. P/TGMS lines are the fundamental basis for the two-line hybrid breeding, which has notably increased the yield potential and grain quality of rice cultivars. In this review, we focus on the research progress on photoperiod- and thermo-sensitive genic male sterility in plants.
