Degradation of mitochondrial structure and deficiency of complex I were associated with the transgenic CMS of rice

Biol. Res; 54 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Mitochondria play a significant role in plant cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). In our previous study, mitochondrial complex I genes, nad4, nad5, and nad7 showed polymorphisms between the transgenic CMS line M2BS and its wild type M2B. The sterility mechanism of the M2BS at cytological, physi...

RNA editing analysis of ATP synthase genes in the cotton cytoplasmic male sterile line H276A

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: Pollen development is an energy-consuming process that particularly occurs during meiosis. Low levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) may cause cell death, resulting in CMS (cytoplasmic male sterility). DNA sequence differences in ATP synthase genes have been revealed between the N- and S-cyt...
