Abstract:

We identified a maize male sterile mutant in the natural population, designated as ms20s1. The mutant had complete male sterility and lacked pollen grains in the withered anthers. Cytological analysis showed that, compared with the wild type, the ms20s1 mutant exhibited shrinkage locule, swollen tapetum cells, and aborted microspore at S11 stage, indicating that the ms20s1 mutant had abnormal tapetal programmed cell death and complete pollen abortion. Genetic analysis revealed that the male sterility trait was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. To clone the target gene, we constructed the F2 populations by crossing ms20s1 with different inbred lines and analyzed the population genotype using genotyping by target sequencing (GBTS) technology. The gene was initially mapped to the 124.95-128.47 Mb region on chromosome 7, and the interval was narrowed down to 0.68 Mb after fine mapping. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that there was one known gene ZmMs7 in this region. The ZmMs7 gene encoded a PHD-finger transcription factor that played an important role in tapetum development and pollen wall formation. Allelism test demonstrated that ms20s1 was an allelic mutant of ZmMs7 gene. Gene sequencing results showed that the ms20s1 mutant had multiple sequence variants in the exon region, which were different from the reported mutants ms7-6007 and ms7gl, confirming ms20s1 was a new allelic mutant of ZmMs7. The discovery and identification of the ms20s1 mutant provide a new material for exploring the molecular mechanism and breeding application of maize genic male sterility.

Key words: maize, male sterility, ms20s1, gene mapping, allelic mutant
