  • Rice mitochondrial sterile gene and application thereof
    Patent number: 10837068
    Abstract: Provided is a rice mitochondrial sterile gene and the application thereof. A rice mitochondrial sterile gene and a coding sequence thereof are disclosed. A specific molecular marker was designed from said gene sequence and enables a rapid and effective screening and identification of D1-type cytoplasm from wild rice for breeding a new D1-type cytoplasm sterile line. A specific sequence in the mitochondria genome of D1-type cytoplasm sterile line was identified by comparative genomics. Sterility-related ORFs were identified from gene prediction and expression difference analysis. A plant transformation vector was constructed to transform maintainer line for verification and sterile function.
    Type: Grant
