摘要

The discovery of Nongken 58S,a natural recessive photoperiod-sensitive male sterile line,served as a starting point for development of two-line hybrid rice in China.While original Nongken 58S in its japonica background is photoperiod-sensitive male sterile,after introgressing of the related locus into indica rice background the same trait become mainly temperature-sensitive male sterile.Although those photoperiod- and temperature-sensitive male sterile lines have been successfully used in two-line hybrid rice seed production,the genetic cause remained a mystery till the two recent publications,with one in Cell Research.
