Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for creating rice strains in the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to an application of the male sterility gene OsGEN and a method for restoring fertility. Background technique
[0002] Rice is one of the main food crops in the world, and it is the most important food crop in my country. More than 60% of the people in China take rice as the staple food, and China is the largest rice producer and consumer in the world. Hybrid rice can greatly increase the yield of rice and is an important method to solve the food problem. The hybrid rice currently used in production belongs to the three-line hybrid rice, which increases the yield by about 20% compared with conventional rice. However, the expression of seed dominance in three-line hybrid rice is complicated and limited by restorer lines and maintainer lines. Therefore, scientists have been screening and breeding new sterile lines to lay the foundation f...
