Information
- Symbol: Rf98,PPR762
- MSU: None
- RAPdb: None
Publication
- A Gene Encoding Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein Partially Restores Fertility in RT98-Type Cytoplasmic Male-Sterile Rice, 2016, Plant Cell Physiol.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- Here, we identified seven pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) genes that are located within a 170 kb region as candidates for Rf98 Complementation tests revealed that the introduction of one of these PPR genes, PPR762, resulted in the partial recovery of fertility with a seed setting rate up to 9
- The low rate of seed setting suggested that some other genes near the Rf98 locus are also necessary for the full recovery of seed setting
- Fine mapping of Rf98 revealed that at least two genes, which are closely positioned, are required for complete fertility restoration in RT98A
