Application of paddy rice RAD51C gene in fertility control

Application of paddy rice RAD51C gene in fertility control

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of plant gene engineering, especially to isolation, cloning and functional verification of the paddy rice fertility control gene RAD51C. The RAD51Cgene belongs to a RecA/RAD51 protein family, and can control fertility of rice pollen and embryo sac, so knock-out of the gene enables abnormal meiosis of the paddy rice, thereby causing infertility of the pollen and the embryo sac. Male infertility or male and female infertility rice materials can be built through tissue-specifically inhibiting the expression of the RAD51Cgene.
