The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)/nucleus-controlled fertility restoration (Rf) system has been widely applied in hybrid seed production and is an ideal model for dissecting the interaction between the nucleus and the mitochondrion. In this study, we identified an insertion–deletion (InDel) at a male fertility restoration locus (RsRf3) for CMS in radish (Raphanus sativusL.). A pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR)-encoding alleleRsRf3-4was found and encodes a predicted protein 579 amino acids in length, comprising 14 PPR domains and with a putative mitochondrial targeting signal. Sequence alignment revealed an InDel 26 bp in length and two point mutations betweenRsRf3-3andRsRf3-4.Compared withRsRf3-4, the deletion changed the reading frame, resulting in a truncated amino acid sequence inRsRf3-3. A crossing test showed that theRsRf3-3allele did not restore fertility to CMS in radish. In contrast, theRsRf3-4allele cosegregated with fertility restoration to CMS in a segregation population. These results strongly suggest that the InDel at theRsRf3locus could involve transition to fertility in CMS radish.
