title: [Progress in the study on conditional male sterility in plants by genetic engineering].
abstract: Conditional (reversible) male sterile line in plants would be fertile under special conditions, and thus could be used as two-line to produce hybrid seeds. This paper described the strategies for creating conditional male sterile line and correspondingly restoring it. Some related problems about the issue were commented on. In addition, this review also predicted the prospects of the study on conditional male sterility.
