Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS1A02G031600
• Gene Symbol: Rf1 RFL77
• Gene Name: Restorer-of-fertility 1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• By genetic mapping and comparative sequence analyses, we identify Rf1 and Rf3 candidates that can restore normal pollen production in transgenic wheat plants carrying T-CMS.
• We show that Rf1 and Rf3 bind to the mitochondrial orf279 transcript and induce cleavage, preventing expression of the CMS trait.
• Rf1 and Rf3 genes that restore fertility of wheat plants carrying Triticum timopheevii-type cytoplasmic male sterility (T-CMS).
• Expression of Rf1 and Rf3 candidates in anthers during pollen formation.
• Testing the restoring capabilities of Rf1 and Rf3 candidate genes by transgenesis.
