Comment
RTS is a rice anther-specific gene. Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization show RTS is predominantly expressed in the tapetum during meiosis and disappears before anthesis. Several nucleotide motifs found in RTS promoter region are also conserved in other anther-specific promoters. Antisense RNA approach and transgenic studies suggest that RTS gene is required for male fertility in rice and its promoter is also fully functional in other dicotyledonous species.
