Genome-wide identification of the restorer-of-fertility-like (RFL) gene family in Brassica napus and expression analysis in Shaan2A cytoplasmic male sterility

Abstract

In the present study, identification and gene expression analysis of RFL gene family in the CMS system were conducted, and seven BnRFL genes were identified as candidates for the restorer genes in Shaan2A CMS. Taken together, this method might provide new insight into the study of Rf genes in other CMS systems.
