The characteristic analysis of TaTDF1 reveals its function related to male sterility in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The male sterile lines are an important foundation for heterosis utilization in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Thereinto, pollen development is one of the indispensable processes of wheat reproductive development, and its fertility plays an important role in wheat heterosis utilization, and are usually influencing by genes. However, these key genes and their regulatory networks during pollen abortion are poorly understood in wheat.

Results

DEFECTIVE IN TAPETAL DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION 1 (TDF1) is a member of the R2R3-MYB family and has been shown to be essential for early tapetal layer development and pollen grain fertility in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and Arabidopsis thaliana. In order to clarify the function of TDF1 in wheat anthers development, we used OsTDF1 gene
