The breeding and large-scale adoption of hybrid seeds is an important achievement in agriculture. Rice hybrid seed production uses cytoplasmic male sterile lines or photoperiod/thermo-sensitive genic male sterile lines (PTGMS) as female parent. Cytoplasmic male sterile lines are propagated via cross-pollination by corresponding maintainer lines, whereas PTGMS lines are propagated via self-pollination under environmental conditions restoring male fertility. Despite huge successes, both systems have their intrinsic drawbacks. Here, we constructed a rice male sterility system using a nuclear gene named Oryza sativa No Pollen 1 (OsNP1). OsNP1 encodes a putative glucose–methanol–choline oxidoreductase regulating tapetum degeneration and pollen exine formation; it is specifically expressed in the tapetum and miscrospores. The osnp1 mutant plant displays normal vegetative growth but complete male sterility insensitive to environmental conditions. OsNP1 was coupled with an α-amylase gene to devitalize transgenic pollen and the red fluorescence protein (DsRed) gene to mark transgenic seed and transformed into the osnp1 mutant. Self-pollination of the transgenic plant carrying a single hemizygous transgene produced nontransgenic male sterile and transgenic fertile seeds in 1:1 ratio that can be sorted out based on the red fluorescence coded by DsRed. Cross-pollination of the fertile transgenic plants to the nontransgenic male sterile plants propagated the male sterile seeds of high purity. The male sterile line was crossed with ∼1,200 individual rice germplasms available. Approximately 85% of the F1s outperformed their parents in per plant yield, and 10% out-yielded the best local cultivars, indicating that the technology is promising in hybrid rice breeding and production.

Abstract Thermos-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) is the important genetic resource in two-line hybrid rice breeding. The pollen fertility of TGMS lines is regulated by a single point mutation on the TGMS genes. Based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and indel, KASP markers were developed and utilized in rice molecular breeding due to high-through detection with low cost and save time. In this study, we convert the SNPs on TGMS genes including p/tms12-1 and tms9-1 gene to the functional co-dominant KASP marker and used in two-line hybrid rice breeding. We can differentiate the TGMS lines conferring p/tms12-1 or tms9-1 from another TGMS lines by KASP assay. Of them, the genotype of Pei'ai64S and Hua201S containing p/tms12-1 is homozygous GG genotype with blue signal, and the genotype of HengnongS-1 containing tms9-1 is homozygous CC genotype with red signal. KASP assay for tms9-1 gene was proved that the genetic mode is fit to one recessive Mendalian trait. The test of seed purity was performed by KASP marker for the two-line hybrid varieties of Liangyoupeijiu and Hualiangyou1206, which is consistent with the previous dCAPS marker. Moreover, the tms12-1 and tms9-1 gene were pyramided in the same genetic background and the new TGMS lines were generated. Therefore, the KASP marker for TGMS genes developed in this study can be widely used in two-line hybrid rice breeding. It will provide a visual convenient toolkit for breeders to select the target individual plant by the high-throughput detection in the different two-line rice breeding program.

The outcrossing traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) affect the yield of hybrid seed production. Using a cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line with good outcrossing traits, such as short flag leaf length (FLL), narrow flag leaf width (FLW), wide flag leaf angle (FLA), and elongated panicle neck length (PNL), for hybrid rice seed production, it is possible to avoid the procedure of cutting flag leaves and make the supplementary pollination feasible by machine. In this study, a japonica restorer C-bao as the receptor parent and a primitive japonica accession Ludao as the donor parent were used to construct a chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) population. The CSSL population was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the four outcrossing traits using a likelihood ratio test based on the stepwise regression (RSTEP-LRT) method. The CSSL population constructed consisted of 163 lines covering 90.7% of the donor genome. Among the seven QTLs detected in the CSSL population, four QTLs were detected in both years. qFLL-4 explained 6.70% of the two-year-averaged phenotypic variance, and the alleles from Ludao decreased FLL 5.1 cm. qFLA-1.1 and qFLA-1.2 explained 7.85% and 21.29% of the 2-year-averaged phenotypic variance respectively, and the alleles from Ludao increased FLA 17.38° and 31.50°. qPNL-8 explained 8.87% of the 2-year-averaged phenotypic variance, and the alleles from Ludao increased PNL 4.44 cm. These favorable alleles identified could be used to improve the outcrossing traits of parents for hybrid rice seed production in rice.

The use of cytoplasmatic male-sterility in maize seed production contributes to increase economical efficiency and to obtain great genetical seeds. Through this theme one has followed the realization of a comparative study between some hybrids obtained to Turda on C and T cytoplasm their homologues, developed with normal and through the castration of the maternal parents. The researches aimed mainly the phenotypic and genotypic variability of the hybrids, the degree of male-sterility and the capacity of production, in phytotechnic conditions in different densities.
