Abstract
Brassica vegetables exhibit pronounced heterosis; nevertheless, investigations on fertility-related genes are scarce. The present study scrutinized a recessive genic male-sterile line, 7-3A, capable of generating a completely sterile population, holding significant promise for flowering Chinese cabbage breeding. By whole-genome resequencing of sterile and fertile plants, the male-sterile gene was confined to approximately 185 kb on chromosome A07, situated between markers C719 and NP10 in Brassica rapa var. Chiifu-401. Notably, substantial structural variation was identified within this region across diverse Brassica rapa reference genomes. Despite discernible expression level disparities of a homologous gene, Bnams4b, between male sterile and fertile plants, no sequence divergence was detected. Further elucidation is required to pinpoint a novel sterile gene within the candidate interval. This investigation contributes to the advancement of both the molecular-assisted breeding scheme for flowering Chinese cabbage and the comprehension of male sterility mechanisms.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE Imbalanced chromosomes and cell cycle arrest, along with down-regulated genes in DNA damage repair and sperm cell differentiation, caused pollen abortion in synthetic allodiploid Brassica juncea hybrids. Interspecific hybridization is considered to be a major pathway for species formation and evolution in angiosperms, but the occurrence of pollen abortion in the hybrids is common, prompting us to recheck male gamete development in allodiploid hybrids after the initial combination of different genomes. Here, we investigated the several key meiotic and mitotic events during pollen development using the newly synthesised allodiploid B. juncea hybrids (AB, 2n = 2× = 18) as a model system. Our results demonstrated the partial synapsis and pairing of non-homologous chromosomes concurrent with chaotic spindle assembly, affected chromosome assortment and distribution during meiosis, which finally caused difference in genetic constitution amongst the final tetrads. The mitotic cell cycle arrest during microspore development resulted in the production of anucleate pollen cells. Transcription analysis showed that sets of key genes regulating cyclin (CYCA1;2 and CYCA2;3), DNA damage repair (DMC1, NBS1 and MMD1), and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (SINAT4 and UBC) were largely downregulated at the early pollen meiosis stages, and those genes involved in sperm cell differentiation (DUO1, PIRL1, PIRL9 and LBD27) and pollen wall synthesis (PME48, VGDH11 and COBL10) were mostly repressed at the late pollen mitosis stages in the synthetic allodiploid B. juncea hybrids (AB). In conclusion, this study elucidated the related mechanisms affecting pollen fertility during male gametophyte development at the cytological and transcriptomic levels in the synthetic allodiploid B. juncea hybrids.

Integrated cytological and transcriptomic analysis reveals insights into pollen fertility in newly synthetic Brassica allohexaploids. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 13:1096804.

Abstract
Trigenomic Brassica allohexaploids (AABBCC, 2n = 6x = 54) have great potential in oilseed breeding and genetic diversity. However, Brassica allohexaploids do not exist naturally, and the underlying mechanism regulating pollen fertility in artificially synthesized Brassica allohexaploids is still unclear. In this study, synthetic Brassica allohexaploids were produced by crossing allotetraploid B. carinata (BBCC, 2n = 4x = 34) and diploid B. rapa (AA, 2n = 2x = 20), followed by chromosome doubling. The results showed that the pollen fertility was significantly reduced and the pollen structures were mostly distorted, but the nursing anther tapetum developed normally in the synthetic Brassica allohexaploids. Furthermore, the data showed that the meiotic events occurred irregularly with uneven chromosome segregation and microspore development appeared mostly abnormal. Transcription analysis showed that the upregulation of genes related to the negative regulation of flower development and the downregulation of genes related to chromosome segregation might play an essential role in reduction of pollen fertility in the Brassica allohexaploids. In conclusion, this study elucidated the related mechanisms affecting pollen fertility during male gametophytic development at the cytological and transcriptomic levels in the newly synthesized Brassica allohexaploids.

Abstract
The 8029AB line is a dominant genic male sterility (DGMS) two-type line in Brassica napus L., which can be used in a three-line approach for the seed production of rapeseed hybrids. Genetic analyses have demonstrated that the sterility of 8029A is controlled by a single dominant nuclear gene (BnMS5e) interacting with one recessive gene (BnMS5c). Six pairs of penta-primer amplification refractory mutation system (PARMS) markers were designed according to the sequence of BnMS5a, BnMS5c and BnMS5e. Two pairs of these PARMS markers were successfully identified and validated. The PARMS markers MS5-1Fc/MS5-1Ft/MS5-1R12 could distinguish BnMS5c from BnMS5a/BnMS5e, and the PARMS markers MS5-2Ft/MS5-2Fa/MS5-1R12 could genotype BnMS5a and BnMS5c/BnMS5e. The combination of these two pairs of PARMS markers could be used to identify the presence or absence of BnMS5a/BnMS5c/BnMS5e effectively. Consequently, marker-assisted selection can be carried out in the early generation to shorten the breeding period and improve the breeding efficiency.

THE NEW PHYTOLOGIST 2021; 229:2339-2356.

Abstract
New genes (or lineage-specific genes) can facilitate functional innovations. MALE STERILITY 5 (MS5) in Brassica napus is a fertility-related new gene, which has two wild-type alleles (BnMS5a and BnMS5c ) and two mutant alleles (BnMS5b and BnMS5d ) that could induce male sterility. Here, we studied the history and functional evolution of MS5 homologs in plants by phylogenetic analysis and molecular genetic experiments. We identified 727 MS5 homologs and found that they define a Brassicaceae-specific gene family that has expanded partly via multiple tandem gene duplications and also probably transpositions. The MS5 in B. napus is inherited from a basic diploid ancestor of B. rapa. Molecular genetic experiments indicate that BnMS5a and BnMS5c are functionally distinct in B. napus and that BnMS5d can inhibit BnMS5a in B. napus in a dosage-dependent manner. The BnMS5a protein can move in coordination with meiotic telomeres and interact with the nuclear envelope protein SUN1, with a possible crucial role in meiotic chromosome behavior. In summary, BnMS5 belongs to a Brassicaceae-specific new gene family, and has gained a novel function that is essential for male fertility in B. napus through neofunctionalization that has likely occurred since the origin of B. rapa.

Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA)-Mediated Genome-Wide ihpRNAi Mutant Library Construction in Brassica napus. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21197243.

Abstract
With the successful completion of genomic sequencing for Brassica napus, identification of novel genes, determination of functions performed by genes, and exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying important agronomic traits were challenged. Mutagenesis-based functional genomics techniques including chemical, physical, and insertional mutagenesis have been used successfully in the functional characterization of genes. However, these techniques had their disadvantages and inherent limitations for allopolyploid Brassica napus, which contained a large number of homologous and redundant genes. Long intron-spliced hairpin RNA (ihpRNA) constructs which contained inverted repeats of the target gene separated by an intron, had been shown to be very effective in triggering RNAi in plants. In the present study, the genome-wide long ihpRNA library of B. napus was constructed with the rolling circle amplification (RCA)-mediated technology. Using the phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene as a target control, it was shown that the RCA-mediated long ihpRNA construct was significantly effective in triggering gene silence in B. napus. Subsequently, the resultant long ihpRNA library was transformed into B. napus to produce corresponding RNAi mutants. Among the obtained transgenic ihpRNA population of B. napus, five ihpRNA lines with observable mutant phenotypes were acquired including alterations in the floral model and the stamen development. The target genes could be quickly identified using specific primers. These results showed that the RCA-mediated ihpRNA construction method was effective for the genome-wide long ihpRNA library of B. napus, therefore providing a platform for study of functional genomics in allopolyploid B. napus.

Abstract
The Brassica-specific gene MS5 mediates early meiotic progression, and its allelic variants contribute to a valuable genic male sterility three-line hybrid production system in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). However, the underlying mechanisms of its triallelic inheritance are poorly understood. Herein, we show that the restorer allele MS5a and the maintainer allele MS5c are both necessary for male fertility in B. napus. The functional divergence of MS5a and MS5c is strongly related to sequence variations in their coding regions and less strongly to their promoter regions. The male-sterile allele MS5b encodes a chimeric protein containing only the complete MS5 coiled-coil (CC) domain, having lost the MS5 superfamily domain. Both MS5a and MS5c can form homodimers in the nucleus via the CC domain. MS5b can interact competitively with MS5a or MS5c to form non-functional heterodimers. Owing to the close transcript levels of MS5b and MS5c in MS5b MS5c , these heterodimers induced a dominant-negative effect of MS5b on MS5c , resulting in a male-sterile phenotype. The extremely high transcript abundance of MS5a maintains sufficient MS5a homodimers in MS5a MS5b , causing the recovery of male sterility. These findings provide substantial genetic and molecular evidence to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the multiallelic inheritance of MS5, and enable the construction of a solid foundation for improved use of the MS5-controlled GMS system in Brassica species.
