Abstract: Cytoplasmic male sterility(CMS)is the basis of utilizing the heterosis of plants,and also favorable material for studying the interaction between mitochondrial genes and nuclear genes. Transcriptomics analysis using DNA microarray and RNA-Seq technology enabled the analysis and comparison of thousands of genes in one experiment. This allows it feasible to better understand fundamental aspects of growth and development,as well as genetic variation in plants on a genomic scale. Based on the mechanism of CMS lines,transcriptomics study may acquire the detailed relevant molecular analysis,understand the interaction mode between mitochondrial and nuclear genes,and be conducive to dissect the male sterility.

Key words: cytoplasmic male sterility, transcriptomics, mitochondrial retrograde regulation, differentially expressed gene
