Male sterile transgenic plants can be obtained through genetic transformation with related genes destroying or interfering with pollen or anther development. Male sterile cauliflower, tomato, cabbage, etc. have been developed in this way, and some begin to be used to produce hybrid seed. Appling some techniques can also maintain and restore the male sterility. These related researches will effectively promote the heterosis utilization and the development of crop breeding. This paper mainly presents their principles and applications in vegetable crops.展开更多

[Method] Eight sowing times were designed, March 20 and 30, April 10 and 30, May 15, June 1, 10 and 20, respectively in Changsha of Hunan. Thirteen sowing times were designed in Hainan, January 28, February 12 and 27, March 14 and 29, April 13 and 28, May 13 and 28, June 12, July 1, 12 and 27, respectively. Peiai 64S was gradually managed and recorded heading stage during cultivation, and the effects of different climate influencing factors, such as daily mean temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, duration of day at 0-25 d before heading （namely pollen mother cell meiophase）, on pollen fertility were analyzed to confirm sensitive periods of light and temperature. [ResuLt] There was a big difference in sensitive period among the same cytoplasmic male sterile （CMS） in different climatic regions. The sensitive period of Peiai 64S was in first four phases, phases V, VI, VII, VIII （0-13 d） in Changsha of Hunan, which was in last four phases, phases I, II, III, IV （13-25 d） in Haikou of Hainan. Under natural conditions, Peiai 64S pollen sterility rate were all more than 99.5% and seed-setting rates all less than 0.5% in Haikou, so production of hybrid seeds was safe. Its pollen sterility rate was 21.3%- 100.0% in Hunan, so its security coefficient of hybrid seeds production was lower than that in Hainan. [Conclusion] The security coefficient of hybrid seeds production of CMS Peiai 64S is lower than that in Hainan.展开更多

This plant has good potential as a donor plant in breeding programme for Phytophthora to foot rot resistance in the cultivated species, P. nigrum. This project was carried out to reveal the optimum time to collect pollen of P. colubrinum for artificial pollination. Through this study, anther dehiscence was proved occurred around 9 am. Based on the result obtained from study on the time of anther dehiscence, the pollen was classified into five stages for testing on the viability, i.e., stage 1, before anther dehiscence, i.e., around 7 am （pollen obtained by crushing on the anther）; stage 2： immediately after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 9 am; stage 3： two hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 11 am; stage 4： four hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 1 pm; and stage 5： six hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 3 pm. Data obtained from pollen germination and pollen tube growth study showed that pollen of P. colubrinum was the most viable at two hours after anther dehiscence and onward. It was also proved that the viability can be maintained up to at least eight hours. Pollen obtained before anther dehiscence by crushing on the anther was found less viable with lower percentage of pollen germination and retarded pollen tube growth. In other words, the experiment enlightened that artificial pollination between P. nigrum L. and P. colubrinum Link was ideally to be carded out approximately starting from 11 am until 5 pm, considering the viability of pollen ofP. colubrinum.展开更多
