The invention discloses a gene for controlling male reproduction and development of rice and application of the gene. The gene has a nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.1, and a protein encoded by the gene has an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.2. By targeting a LOC_Os08g20730 gene design target by virtue of a CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing system, a receptor is a middle flower 11, and a targeted T0 generation phenotype are shown in the figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the description; and sequencing analysis shows that anther development abnormality occurs in a homozygously mutated plant or a biallelically mutated plant and pollen does not exist. The analysis of a homozygously mutated T1 generation shows that the separation proportion of fertile plants to sterile plants is 3 to 1. The integration shows that the gene is capable of regulating and controlling the reproduction and development of rice, once the gene in the rice is damaged, the anther development abnormality occurs, and non-pollen sterility occurs. According to the obtained cell nucleus gene for controlling the reproduction and development of the rice, an intelligent sterile line can be created by virtue of a molecular measure, and excellent parents in the production are improved into excellent sterile lines, so that the heterosis utilization is expanded.
