摘　　要：Rice(Oryza sativa L.)is a major food crop for more than half of the world’s population.Therefore,increasing rice production is of great importance.The successful development of hybrid rice in the 1970s was an important achievement for increasing yield potential,since hybrid rice varieties produce higher yields than inbred varieties(Cheng et al.,2007).In plants,male sterility refers to the inability of producing dehiscent anthers and functional pollen(Chen and Liu,2014).Rice（Oryza sativa L.）is a major food crop for more than half of the world’s population.Therefore,increasing rice production is of great importance.The successful development of hybrid rice in the 1970s was an important achievement for increasing yield potential,since hybrid rice varieties produce higher yields than inbred varieties（Cheng et al.,2007）.In plants,male sterility refers to the inability of producing dehiscent anthers and functional pollen（Chen and Liu,2014）.
