摘要: | Production of hybrid rice seed is laborious and costly, because the restorer lines providing pollen need to be removed before seed harvesting to avoid contamination of undesired inbred seeds. In a recent Cell Research paper, Li et al. report that a spontaneous mutation in ARGONAUTE7 could lead to thermosensitive female sterility, which enables fully mechanized hybrid seed production in rice. |
