Nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences may be useful in methods mediating male fertility in plants, particularly maize, rice, or sorghum. Wild-type and mutant forms are useful for various purposes. Vectors, plant cells, and plants comprise the nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences. A promoter sequence operably linked to a polynucleotide of interest provides expression preferentially in male reproductive tissue. |

1. A recombinant expression cassette, comprising a polynucleotide operably linked, in sense or anti-sense orientation, to a promoter, wherein the polynucleotide is selected from the group consisting of:
a. a polynucleotide having at least 80% sequence identity to the full length sequence of a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS:1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, wherein the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide that impacts male fertility in a plant; b. a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to the full length of the polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3, 9, 10, 11, 12; 13, and 14; c. a recombinant polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; and d. A polynucleotide which is complementary to the polynucleotide of (a), (b) or (c). |
