  • Title: [Cloning and sequencing of fragments associated with cytoplasm male sterility of rice].
    Author: Yang JB, Wang XF, Zhao CS, Xiang TH, Li L.
    Journal: Yi Chuan Xue Bao; 2002 Sep; 29(9):808-13. PubMed ID: 12561229.
    Abstract:
    Mitochorndrial DNA (mtDNA), nuclear DNA (nDNA), and genomic DNA (gDNA) were individually extracted from Zhenshan 97A, Xieqingzao A and A-23, which were cytoplasmic male sterile (wild abortive, dwarf abortive and BT), and from Zhenshan 97B, Xieqingzao B and BT, which were maintainers lines. Each of them was analyzed with 500 random primers by RAPD. Six fragments specific to male sterile lines were amplified. A fragment, PWH-17, associated with wild and dwarf abortive type cytoplasmic male sterility was analyzed by Southern blotting and sequencing, and also tested by SCAR. It was 1879 bp in length, which contained 6 open reading frames and 8 repeated sequences. BLAST search revealed that partial sequence in PWH-17 showed high similarity to the upstream sequence of tRNA-Asp gene in Elytrigia elongate (GenBank accession number U14335) and wheat (X13243). The similarity ratios were 97% and 100%. It was inferred that the possible position of PWH-17 in rice (wild abortive) could be located between tRNA-Asp and Cox II, which will be discussed further.
