Photoperiod and thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) rice is an important resource for two line hybrid rice production. The SQUAMOSA–promoter binding, such as the (SPL) gene family, encode the plant specific transcription factors that regulate development and defense responses in plants. However, the reports about SPLs participating in male fertility regulation are limited. Here, we identified 19 OsSPL family members and investigated their involvement in the fertility regulation of the PTGMS rice lines, PA2364S and PA2864S, with different fertility transition temperatures. The results demonstrated that OsSPL2, OsSPL4, OsSPL16 and OsSPL17 affect male fertility in response to temperature changes through the MiR156-SPL module. WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) revealed that CHI and APX1 were co-expressed with OsSPL17. Targeted metabolite and flavonoid biosynthetic gene expression analysis revealed that OsSPL17 regulates the expression of flavonoid biosynthesis genes CHI, and the up regulation of flavanones (eriodictvol and naringenin) and flavones (apigenin and luteolin) content contributed to plant fertility. Meanwhile, OsSPL17 negatively regulates APX1 to affect APX (ascorbate peroxidase) activity, thereby regulating ROS (reactive oxygen species) content in the tapetum, controlling the PCD (programmed cell death) process and regulating male fertility in rice. Overall, this report highlights the potential role of OsSPL for the regulation of male fertility in rice and provides a new insight for the further understanding of fertility molecular mechanisms in PTGMS rice.
