“…Recently, OsP31 comet (OsBVF1) was identified as a CRC1-interacting protein that has similarity to the human mitotic arrest-deficient 2 (Mad2) binding protein. It was demonstrated to be an SC component, and it participates in meiotic DSB formation (105,252). These results suggest that the SC is important for both DSB formation and subsequent recombination.…”

“…In S. cerevisiae, in addition to the SPO11 complex, there are at least nine other Spo11-or DSB-associated proteins, including Mre11, Rad50, Xrs2, Ski8, Rec102, Rec104, Rec114, Mei4, and Mer2 (157), which form different subcomplexes to promote Spo11-dependent DSB formation. There are also DSB-associated proteins in plants, including those that are plant specific or have diverged substantially, such as AtPRD1, AtPRD2, AtPRD3, AtDFO, OsCRC1, OsSDS, and OsP31 comet (OsBVF1) (58,105,150,163,235,248,252). Among these, AtPRD1 and At-PRD2 are likely the mouse homologs of, respectively, MEI1 and MEI4 (58,59), and AtPRD3, OsPAIR1, and AtDFO (DSB FORMATION) are likely plant-specific proteins (58,163,248).…”

Meiosis halves diploid chromosome numbers to haploid levels that are essential for sexual reproduction in most eukaryotes. Meiotic recombination ensures the formation of bivalents between homologous chromosomes (homologs) and their subsequent proper segregation. It also results in genetic diversity among progeny that influences evolutionary responses to selection. Moreover, crop breeding depends upon the action of meiotic recombination to rearrange elite traits between parental chromosomes. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive meiotic recombination is important for both fundamental research and practical applications. This review emphasizes advances made during the past 5 years, primarily in Arabidopsis and rice, by summarizing newly characterized genes and proteins and examining the regulatory mechanisms that modulate their action.

“…We identified a new male-sterile mutant from our rice mutant library (generated by 60 Co γ-ray irradiation of the japonica cultivar 02428; Ji et al , 2013 ; Niu et al , 2013 ; Zhou et al , 2017 ). We named this mutant oslecrk5 because subsequent analysis showed that its sterility is caused by a mutation in the rice LecRLK gene OsLecRK5 (see below).…”

Abstract The temporary callose layer surrounding the tetrads of microspores is critical for male gametophyte development in flowering plants, as abnormal callose deposition can lead to microspore abortion. A sophisticated signaling network regulates callose biosynthesis but these pathways are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized a rice male-sterile mutant, oslecrk5, which showed defective callose deposition during meiosis. OsLecRK5 encodes a plasma membrane-localized lectin receptor-like kinase, which can form a dimer with itself. Moreover, normal anther development requires the K-phosphorylation site (a conserved residue at the ATP-binding site) of OsLecRK5. In vitro assay showed that OsLecRK5 phosphorylates the callose synthesis enzyme UGP1, enhancing callose biosynthesis during anther development. Together, our results demonstrate that plasma membrane-localized OsLecRK5 phosphorylates UGP1 and promotes its activity in callose biosynthesis in rice. This is the first evidence that a receptor-like kinase positively regulates callose biosynthesis.

“…Over the past decade many homologous recombination-related genes have been identified, but their potential for hybrid rice breeding has never been harvested. For example, the PAIR2 , PAIR3 , BVF1 , and SPO11 are essential for chromosome recombination, and the mutations cause complete male sterility ( Nonomura et al, 2004 ; Yuan et al, 2009 ; Yu et al, 2010 ; Zhou et al, 2017 ). Interestingly, their mutants produce intact univalent, hence perfectly useful.…”

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) occupies a very salient and indispensable status among cereal crops, as its vast production is used to feed nearly half of the world’s population. Male sterile plants are the fundamental breeding materials needed for specific propagation in order to meet the elevated current food demands. The development of the rice varieties with desired traits has become the ultimate need of the time. Genic male sterility is a predominant system that is vastly deployed and exploited for crop improvement. Hence, the identification of new genetic elements and the cognizance of the underlying regulatory networks affecting male sterility in rice are crucial to harness heterosis and ensure global food security. Over the years, a variety of genomics studies have uncovered numerous mechanisms regulating male sterility in rice, which provided a deeper and wider understanding on the complex molecular basis of anther and pollen development. The recent advances in genomics and the emergence of multiple biotechnological methods have revolutionized the field of rice breeding. In this review, we have briefly documented the recent evolution, exploration, and exploitation of genic male sterility to the improvement of rice crop production. Furthermore, this review describes future perspectives with focus on state-of-the-art developments in the engineering of male sterility to overcome issues associated with male sterility-mediated rice breeding to address the current challenges. Finally, we provide our perspectives on diversified studies regarding the identification and characterization of genic male sterility genes, the development of new biotechnology-based male sterility systems, and their integrated applications for hybrid rice breeding.
