The invention discloses GhRALF4L and GhRALF30L
gene clusters and an application of the GhRALF4L and GhRALF30L
gene clusters in creating a high-temperature male sterile line of cotton. The invention provides two RALF
gene clusters GhRALF4L and GhRALF30L related to the high-sensitivity male
sterility character of cotton, the two RALF gene clusters comprise 28 related genes in total, and the coding sequences of the genes are respectively shown as SEQ ID NO.1-28. The two gene clusters regulate the high-temperature
fertility of drugs and
pollen of upland cotton through a
dose effect, and a gene editing
mutant with higher editing efficiency is more sensitive to high-
temperature stress, i.e., the more serious function loss of GhRALF4L and GhRALF30L causes the more serious high-temperature male
sterility. According to the gene editing
mutant created on the basis of the discovery, the
sterility character has the definite high-
temperature induction characteristic, that is, the
mutant is normal in
fertility under the normal-temperature condition and shows
abortion only under the high-temperature condition.
