Delayed degradation of tapetal cells causes the male sterility in Lagerstroemia speciosa 'Zichan'
The degradation of tapetum and tetrad callose plays crucial roles in the development and maturation of microspores. Lagerstroemia speciosa 'Zichan' is a new cultivar of Lagerstroemia speciosa characterized by pollen sterility and continuous flowering. In this study, abnormal anther development with the delayed degradation of tapetal cells was identified in L. speciosa 'Zichan'. Cytological observation revealed that the degradation of the tapetal cells was delayed after tetrad formation. Histochemistry showed that callose persisted until the early unicellular stage. RT-qPCR analysis indicated that the expression of callose synthase genes was already abnormal at the microsporocyte stage, and the expression level of callose-degrading enzyme-related genes was abnormally low at the tetrad stage. RT-qPCR indicated that as early as the microsporocyte stage, the expression of callose synthase genes in L. speciosa 'Zichan' was already abnormal, and the expression of callose-degrading enzyme-related genes was lowest at the tetrad stage. Taken together, we hypothesize that the delayed degradation of tapetal cells inhibits the release of callose-degrading enzyme at the tetrad stage, further affecting the degradation of callose and microspore release at the right time, finally leading to microspore failure and male sterility in L. speciosa 'Zichan'.
期刊介绍:
Scientia Horticulturae is an international journal publishing research related to horticultural crops. Articles in the journal deal with open or protected production of vegetables, fruits, edible fungi and ornamentals under temperate, subtropical and tropical conditions. Papers in related areas (biochemistry, micropropagation, soil science, plant breeding, plant physiology, phytopathology, etc.) are considered, if they contain information of direct significance to horticulture. Papers on the technical aspects of horticulture (engineering, crop processing, storage, transport etc.) are accepted for publication only if they relate directly to the living product. In the case of plantation crops, those yielding a product that may be used fresh (e.g. tropical vegetables, citrus, bananas, and other fruits) will be considered, while those papers describing the processing of the product (e.g. rubber, tobacco, and quinine) will not. The scope of the journal includes all horticultural crops but does not include speciality crops such as, medicinal crops or forestry crops, such as bamboo. Basic molecular studies without any direct application in horticulture will not be considered for this journal.
