| Abstract: | Advance in the genetic study on male sterility in plant was reviewed. A dominant gene Ms2(Ta1) for male sterility, which hasa recombination percentage of 31. 16 with the centromere , is located on the short arm of chromosome 4D in Taigu wheat. Dwarfing male sterile wheat is a dwarf marked male sterile material, carrying the gene Ms2 for male sterility and dominant dwarf gene Rht10. The two genes, Ms2 and Rht10, are closely linked with a crossing-over value as small as 0. 18. The linkage character of genes Ms2 and Rht10 was transferred to CS ph1b mutant and octoploid triticale. A female-male sterility controlled by a set of genes and a male sterility carrying double recessive genes were discovered in wheat. The hypothesis of the origin of the male sterile form for gene interaction was proposed. An inheritance mode of fertility in sib-mating progenies of reces sive genic male sterile material in plant was established. |
