The application belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and plant genetic breeding, and particularly relates to application of a new tetraploid rice fertility gene NTFR2. The application uses a gene knockout technology to determine the function of the fertility regulation gene NTFR2 in the new tetraploid rice, and finds that the NTFR2 affects the fertility of the new tetraploid rice. When the function of the NTFR2 gene is lost, the seed setting rate of the mutant is reduced, and the development of the female gametophyte sac exhibits abnormality. Meanwhile, the loss of the function of the NTFR2 gene leads to a significant decrease in the fertility of the new tetraploid rice, but has a smaller influence on the male gametes and other agronomic traits, which indicates that the NTFR2 is a new gene mainly affecting the fertility of the tetraploid rice, and has an important application prospect in the fields of creating a new female sterile line and further promoting the utilization of hybrid vigor of the tetraploid rice.
