Gametophytic male sterility (GMS) plays an important role in the study of pollen development and seed propagation of recessive nuclear male sterile lines insensitive to the environmental conditions in hybrid rice breeding. Since the inherent phenotypic and genetic characteristics of GMS, it is very difficult to find and identify the GMS mutants. However, due to the abundance of gene transcription data, a large number of pollen-specific genes have been found, and most of them may be associated with GMS. To promote the study of these genes in pollen development and heterosis utilization, in this study, an easy and efficient method of creating and identifying GMS was established using RNAi and  OsMYB76R  as a reporter. First, the  OsC1 / OsMYB76  gene involved in anthocyanin synthesis was modified, and we have validated that the modified  OsMYB76R  is workable as the same as the pre-modified  OsMYB76  gene. Then, the ascorbic acid oxidase gene  OsPTD1  was downregulated using RNAi, driven by its own promoter that resulted in abnormal pollen tube growth. Finally, the RNAi elements were linked with  OsMYB76R  and transformed into an  osmyb76  mutant, and the distortion of purple color segregation was found in T 1  and F 1  generations. This indicates that the  OsPTD1  GMS was prepared successfully. Compared to current methods, there are several advantages to this method. First, time is saved in material preparation, as one generation less needs to be compared than in the conventional method, and mutation screening can be avoided. In addition, for identification, the cost is lower; PCR, electrophoresis, and other processes are not needed; and no expensive chemicals or instruments are required. Finally, the results are more accurate, with much lower background effects, and no damage to the plant. The result is an easy, efficient, low-cost, and accurate method of preparing and identifying GMS genes.
