J. Kang et al., Isolation of cDNA fragment of fertility-related gene in photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile rice, CHIN SCI B, 43(24), 1998, pp. 2082-2087
The photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile rice (PGMR) Is particularly us
eful to take advantage of heterosis in rice. mRNA differential display was
used to isolate the fertility-relative genes in rice. After establishing an
optimized mRNA differential display system, one of the differential cDNA f
ragments that maybe related to the development and maturation of rice panic
le was cloned from a PGMR Nongken 58S.
