摘要： To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying anther abortion in celery male sterile lines, this study investigates the morphological differences of floral organs and differential gene expression patterns between two lines at the flowering stage. Using the male sterile line of celery 'QCBU-001' and the fertile line 'Jinnan Shiqin' as materials, anther structure was analyzed by paraffin sections, and related genes were detected using transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR. The results indicated that the anther locules were severely shrunken at maturity in the sterile lines. The callose deficiency led to abnormal development of microspores, preventing the formation of mature pollen grains and ultimately leading to complete anther abortion. The transcriptome results revealed that 3246 genes were differentially expressed in sterile and fertile lines, which were significantly enriched in pathways such as starch and sucrose metabolism and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Additionally, differential expression patterns of transcription factor families (MYB, bHLH, AP2, GRAS, and others) suggested their potential involvement in regulating anther abortion. Notably, the expression level of callose synthase gene AgGSL2 was significantly downregulated in sterile anthers, which might be an important cause of callose deficiency and pollen sterility. This study not only provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying male sterility in celery but also lays a foundation for the utilization and improvement of male sterile lines in vegetable hybrid breeding.
