Abstract: As a common and special physiological phenomenon in the plant kingdom,male sterility has high research values in basic application and practical production. In this paper,we review the pepper genic male sterility,cytoplasmic male sterility and the different abortion ways of pollen,as well as different periods of microspore abortion,and then compare some of the pollen development physiological and biochemical phenomena,mainly related to material metabolism and energy metabolism. Further,we introduce the relationship between male sterility and mitochondria from the aspects of mitochondrial metabolism,the structure and number of mitochondria,and the molecular basis of mitochondria,as well as the relevant studies on the markers and proteomics of male sterile genes using molecular technologies,so as to provide references for pepper breeding researches.

Key words: pepper, male sterility, gene marker, proteomics, mitochondrial metabolism
