(2) The thermo-sensitive stage for fertility alteration is the period from pollen mother cell
formation stage to the beginning of meiotic division stage.
(3)The male sterility-inducing critical temperature is 23-29C,varying from line to line.
(4)Under the critical temperature conditions for three consecutive days,the TGMS line resumes
male fertility.
The most important point in the practical utilization of TGMS lines is that the male sterility-
inducing critical temperature must be relatively low,especially for temperate zones.
In tropical and subtropical areas, TGMS lines are more useful than PGMS lines since the day length there is relatively
short but the temperature is rather high, whereas the PGMS lines are more preferable in higher latitudes.
5 Inheritance of PTGMS Genes
Many studies have been done on the inheritance of the PTGMS genes.Although the results of different researchers are
not highly consistent,yet it is mostly accepted that the alteration of male sterility in Nongken 58S is controlled by two pairs of
genes, that of Annong S-1 and Hengnong S-1 by one pair of genes and that of 5460S by one or two pairs of genes. No matter
how many major genes are considered,there exist some minor genes that affect the expression of fertility. It has also been
found that the fertility expression may be quite different when the same PTGMS gene is introduced into different genetic
backgrounds.
In addition,the studies on the allelism of genes in different PTGMS lines have shown that the genes from different
origins are not allelic. For example, the PTGMS genes in Nongken 58S,Annong S-1,Hengnong S-1 and 5460S are all
independently inherited.
