| Research Abstract |
We conducted the experiments to isolate Rf genes for the Ogura male-sterility and identify their characteristics. We found in Japanese wild radishes new Rft gene that is involved in the processing of mRNA of orf138, and exploited DNA markers tightly linked to the Rft. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that unique Rf genes are distributed in wild species, Raphanus raphanistrum, Japanese wild radish, and Chinese cultivated radishes, respectively. The DNA sequences of them were determined. Based on the results, the genetic and evolutionary processes of establishment of each Rf gene were estimated. This research project shows, as a whole, the diverse differentiations of Rf genes in wild and cultivated radishes.
