Abstract: The invention discloses a plant thermo-sensitive male sterile gene mutant tms15 and uses thereof. The nucleotide sequence of the plant thermo-sensitive male sterile gene mutant tms15 is SEQ ID No. 1. The inventor screened the thermo sensitive genic male sterile mutant tms15 by EMS mutagenesis of Zhonghua 11, which showed a male sterile phenotype under high temperature conditions (>28° C.) and restored fertility under low temperature conditions (22˜24° C.). The cytological results shows that the sporogenous cells in tms15 plants proliferated excessively and the tapetum cells are also vacuolized abnormally under high temperature. The normal proliferation of sporogenous cells and the normal development of tapetal cells are restored to some extent after low temperature treatment.

Abstract: A drive tray assembly is disclosed for placing drives (e.g., hard disk drives) in a computer chassis in a rotated orientation and without the need for additional tools. A tray base holding a drive can be slid into a receiving space of the chassis in a longitudinal direction. An installation lever rotatably attached to the tray base includes a shaft that engages a corresponding receiving slot of the receiving space. After the tray base is inserted, rotation of the installation lever to a closed position causes the tray base, and thus the drive, to move in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A release lever rotatably attached to the tray base can secure the installation lever in the closed position until the release lever is rotated, freeing the installation lever to move to the open position in which the drive tray may be removed from the chassis.
