Summary D1‐cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) rice is a sporophytic cytoplasmic male‐sterile rice developed from Dongxiang wild rice that exhibits a no‐pollen‐grain phenotype. A mitochondrial chimeric gene (orf182) was detected by mitochondrial genome sequencing and a comparative analysis. Orf182 is c...
