Comparative Transcriptome Analysis between Fertile and CMS Flower Buds in Wucai (Brassica campestris L.).

The present comparative transcriptome analysis suggested that many key genes and transcription factors involved in anther development show reduced gene expression patterns in the CMS line, which might contribute to male sterility in Wucai. This study provides valuable information for a better understanding of CMS molecular mechanisms and functional genome studies in Wucai.
