MORF1 regulates the editing of orf224 transcript to modulate fertility in the polima cytoplasmic male sterility system of Brassica napus L
摘要
Abstract
The Brassica polima cytoplasmic male sterility(pol CMS)line causes complete and stable sterility and is most extensively used in breeding.The regulatory pathway,however,is not clear.In this work,we stud-ied molecular interaction among several key genes involved in pol CMS.Firstly,we found that the mul-ticellular organelle RNA-editing factor protein(Bna.MORF1)interacted with the pol CMS-restorer protein RFP using the yeast two-hybrid system.Secondly,knock down of Bna.MORF1 using CRISPR/Cas9 editing resulted in sterile transgenic lines.The function of the pol CMS sterility gene orf224 was further confirmed by ectopic expression of the gene in both Arabidopsis and Brassica.Furthermore,using CRISPR/Cas9 we determined that an anther-specific proline-rich protein(APG)was also involved in sterility.We propose a working model for pol CMS in Brassica napus that may expedite the utilization of this popular CMS line in Brassica breeding.关键词
