The invention discloses a
plant temperature-sensitive sterile
gene mutant tms15 and application thereof. A
nucleotide sequence of the
plant temperature-sensitive sterile
gene mutant tms15 comprises a
nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID No.1 in a sequence table. The inventor carries out EMS
mutagenesis on the middle flower 11 to screen a thermo-sensitive genic male sterile line tms15, and the thermo-sensitive genic male sterile line tms15 is subjected to EMS
mutagenesis under a high temperature condition (gt; the male
sterility phenotype is shown under the low-temperature condition (22-24 DEG C), and the
fertility is recovered under the low-temperature condition (22-24 DEG C).
Cytology results show that
spore-forming cells in tms15 at high temperature are excessively proliferated, tapetum cells are also abnormally vacuolated, and normal
pollen cannot be formed. After low-
temperature treatment, normal proliferation of
spore-forming cells and normal development of tapetum cells are recovered to a certain extent. The
mutation of one basic group in the LRR section in the
coding region of the
gene enables the
amino acid coded at the site to be changed from
valine to
glutamic acid, and the
mutation enables the expression of the TMS15 gene to be obviously up-regulated compared with that of a
wild type. The unique characteristic of the gene can provide new theoretical basis and application value for
cross breeding of two lines.
