Dose effects of restorer gene modulate pollen fertility in cotton CMS-D2 restorer lines via auxin signaling and flavonoid biosynthesis.

The study examined gene alleles in CMS-D2 cotton and found that the homozygous RfRf genotype had higher fertility than the heterozygous Rfrf genotype. Key genes and metabolites were identified, and over-activation of auxin signaling was found to inhibit pollen development. These findings shed light on the regulation of pollen fertility in CMS-D2 cotton.
