The bHLH1-DTX35/DFR module regulates pollen fertility by promoting flavonoid biosynthesis in L.

High pollen fertility can ensure the yield and efficiency of breeding work, but factors that affect the fertility of pepper pollen have not been studied extensively. In this work, we screened the reduced pollen fertility 1 () mutant of with reduced pollen fertility and yellow anthers from an EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate)-mutagenized pepper population. Through construction of an population followed by BSA (bulked segregant analysis) mapping and KASP genotyping, we identified as a candidate gene for control of this trait.
