TheBrassica‐specific geneMS5mediates early meiotic progression, and its allelic variants contribute to a valuable genic male sterility three‐line hybrid production system in rapeseed (Brassica napusL.). However, the underlying mechanisms of its triallelic inheritance are poorly understood. Herein, we show that the restorer alleleMS5aand the maintainer alleleMS5care both necessary for male fertility inB. napus. The functional divergence ofMS5aandMS5cis strongly related to sequence variations in their coding regions and less strongly to their promoter regions. The male‐sterile alleleMS5bencodes a chimeric protein containing only the complete MS5 coiled‐coil (CC) domain, having lost the MS5 superfamily domain. Both MS5aand MS5ccan form homodimers in the nucleus via the CC domain. MS5bcan interact competitively with MS5aor MS5cto form non‐functional heterodimers. Owing to the close transcript levels ofMS5bandMS5cinMS5bMS5c, these heterodimers induced a dominant‐negative effect ofMS5bonMS5c,resulting in a male‐sterile phenotype. The extremely high transcript abundance ofMS5amaintains sufficient MS5ahomodimers inMS5aMS5b, causing the recovery of male sterility. These findings provide substantial genetic and molecular evidence to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the multiallelic inheritance ofMS5, and enable the construction of a solid foundation for improved use of theMS5‐controlled GMS system inBrassicaspecies.
