| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We identified a new MYB-related transcription factor from rice. This transcription factor showed 88% identity with Arabidopsis MYB80 in the region containing a MYB domain and the conserved sequence among MYB80s. Disruption of this rice transcription factor gene using a CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in male sterility with no pollen grains in small flat anthers at flowering stage. These results suggested that the rice transcription factor played an essential role in pollen development similarly to the Arabidopsis MYB80. This rice MYB80-like gene was expressed specifically in the immature anther at the microspore stage and down-regulated under high temperature stress conditions. Expression patterns of the rice MYB80-like gene were quite similar to those of the anther-specific high temperature-repressed genes that we identified previously. Analyses of regulatory mechanisms of these genes are now ongoing.
