"Key Regulators of Rice Male Reproductive Development"

Presented by Dabing Zhang, School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, P.R. China

We recently identified several key regulators of rice anther development. TDR (Tapetum Degeneration Retardation) is thought to be a positive regulator of tapetal PCD. The Arabidopsis ABORTED MICROSPORE (AMS) gene, the ortholog of TDR, was also shown to play a crucial role in tapetum and microspore development. I am going to talk about their regulatory role of TDR and AMS. In addition, I am going to describe the isolation and characterization of rice mutants, cyp704b2 and csa (carbon starved anther), and their possible application in hybrid rice breeding.
