METHOD EMPLOYING GENE EDITING TO CREATE NEW GERMPLASM OF STERILE MALE CROP AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

A method employing gene editing to create a new germplasm of a sterile male crop and an application thereof. In the method, gene editing is performed in the exon region of Ty-5 and a plant's own DBS repair mechanism is used to introduce a deletion into a DNA sequence, such that Ty-5 gene function is lost, thereby obtaining the sterile male characteristics.
