- Key message
- The fertility restorer gene, Rf2, for Lead Rice-type cytoplasmic male sterility of rice encodes a mitochondrial glycine-rich protein
- In Lead Rice-type CMS, discovered in the indica variety ‘Lead Rice’, fertility of the CMS plant is restored by the single nuclear-encoded gene Rf2 in a gametophytic manner
- As Rf2 does not encode a pentatricopeptide repeat protein, unlike a majority of previously identified Rf genes, the data from this study provide new insights into the mechanism for restoring fertility in CMS
- Expression of Rf2 mRNA was detected in developing and mature anthers
- An RF2-GFP fusion was shown to be targeted to mitochondria
- Connection
- Rf2, RIF2, A candidate factor that interacts with RF2, a restorer of fertility of Lead rice-type cytoplasmic male sterility in rice., coli-produced recombinant GST-tagged RF2 and His-tagged RIF2 confirmed that RF2 interacted with RIF2
- Rf2, RIF2, A candidate factor that interacts with RF2, a restorer of fertility of Lead rice-type cytoplasmic male sterility in rice., These results suggest that RIF2 is a candidate factor of a fertility restoration complex of RF2
