Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a trait that causes pollen or anther dysfunctions, resulting in the lack of seed setting. CMS is considered to be caused by the expression of a unique mitochondrial open reading frame referred to as CMS‐associated gene.orf312has been reported as a CMS‐associated gene of Tadukan‐type CMS (TAA) in rice (Oryza sativaL.), which exhibits impaired anther dehiscence; however, evidence thereof has not yet been reported. Here, we took a loss‐of‐function approach, using a mitochondria‐targeted transcription activator‐like effector nuclease (mitoTALEN) designed to knock outorf312in TAA, to prove thatorf312indeed is a CMS‐causative gene. Out of 28 transgenic TAA plants harboring the mitoTALEN expression vector, deletion oforf312was detected in 24 plants by PCR, Southern blot, and sequencing analyses. The 24 plants were grouped into three groups based on the deleted regions. Allorf312‐depleted TAA plants exhibited recovery of anther dehiscence and seed setting. The depletion oforf312and fertility restoration was maintained in the next generation, even in mitoTALEN expression cassette null segregants. In contrast,orf312‐retaining plants were sterile. These results provide robust evidence thatorf312is a Tadukan‐type CMS‐causative gene.
