[Progress in the study on conditional male sterility in plants by genetic engineering].

Conditional (reversible) male sterile line in plants would be fertile under special conditions, and thus could be used as two-line to produce hybrid seeds. This paper described the strategies for creating conditional male sterile line and correspondingly restoring it. Some related problems about the issue were commented on. In addition, this review also predicted the prospects of the study on conditional male sterility.

[Strategies for development of SSR molecular markers].

SSR molecular markers have been used widely in many genetic studies and become one of the most popular molecular markers due to their high polymorphism, abundant informativeness, convenience of assay by PCR and distribution throughout the genome. The major drawback of SSR molecular markers is that their primers need to be designed according to the isolated sequence flanking the SSR from species that are being examined for the first time. The aim of the present paper is to review the several representative methods of SSR isolation described in the literature and provide useful information in making appropriate choices among the large number of currently available options.
