Male sterility plays an important role in the utilization of heterosis in rice. The establishment
of male sterile lines in rice is one of the key technologies in hybrid rice production systems …

Pollen development is critical to the reproductive success of flowering plants, but how it is
regulated is not well understood. Here, we isolated two allelic male-sterile mutants of …

During cooking, aromatic rice has a pleasant and characteristic aroma, a relevant factor to
