Recessive genic male sterility (RGMS) has great potential for F 1  hybrid seeds production in sesame ( Sesamum indicum  L.). However, it is not yet widely used in practice due to poor understanding of the underlying mechanism in RGMS. Previously, we have developed a novel sesame RGMS line (D248A) controlled by a single recessive gene. To elucidate its cytological mechanism, histological observations were carried out in sterile and fertile buds. The results indicated that abnormality in D248A began at microspore mother cell stage and persisted until microspore stage. The microsporocytes had less cytoplasm and no obvious nucleus. Normal meiosis failed in microspore mother cells. Cytoplasm condensation and vacuolation frequently occurred in tetrads, leading to the production of crumpled and abortive microspores. To develop molecular markers for breeding of hybrid lines, InDel and SSR markers were analyzed in a fertility segregating NIL population constructed by sib-mating D248A with D248B. Five markers were identified for the male sterile gene ( Ms ), with a respective genetic distance of 1.47 and 5.17 cM for the two closest markers (SB2993 and LG1-170) on both sides. The  Ms  gene was further anchored into a 108-kb interval in the downstream of chromosome 1, within which 15 genes were predicted and four were likely to be responsible for male sterility. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the mechanism underlying RGMS in sesame.
