Abstract Genic male sterility (GMS) is an effective pollination control system applied in the hybrid breeding of Brassica napus L. ShaanGMS is a spontaneous mutant of dominant GMS in B. napus. In this research, anther abortion in the homozygous two-type line 9A15AB derived from Shaan-GMS was characterised with the combined use of light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Results indicated that the most striking differences between the fertile and sterile plants occurred in the tapetum in the early microsporocyte stage. In sterile plants, the tapetal cells were irregularly arranged, multi-layered and occupied the growing space of microsporocytes. When entering into meiosis, the tapetum cells degraded and the cytoplasm fused. Some oval monolayer or bilayer membrane organelles existed in the tapetal cells in sterile anthers. Mitochondria in the tapetal cells were abnormal, and middle layer cells degraded early. Pollen mother cells of Shaan-GMS degenerated at the start of meiosis and ceased at the anaphase I stage, with no dyads or tetrads formed. The combined effects of the abnormal development of the tapetum, the middle layer cells and meiosis lead to male sterility in Shaan-GMS. Inheritance of male sterility of Shaan-GMS is controlled by a monogenically multiallelic locus with three different alleles (Ms, ms and Mf), with a relationship expressed as Mf > Ms and Ms > ms. The findings help lay the foundation for illustrating the mechanism of male sterility and the utilisation of Shaan-GMS in rapeseed. Keywords Brassica napus L. . Dominant genic male sterility .

Introduction Dominant genic male sterility (GMS) is a phenomenon wherein half of the plants in each generation are sterile when the
sterile plants in this kind of GMS line are pollinated with fertile plants within the same species. However, further studies have indicated that in some cases when a male sterile genotype is crossed with a fertile genotype of the same species, the
