摘要： Mung bean (Vigna radiata) plays a significant role in agricultural trade, food processing and utilization, and cropping structure adjustment due to its abundant nutritional components, medicine-food homology, capacity for nitrogen fixation, and soil improvement. The low yield level is a crucial limitation factor in the mung bean industry, while heterosis is an efficient path for increasing crop yields. The flexible utilization of male sterile mung bean materials may solve this pressing demand in the industry. This study identified a completely male-sterile mutant, vrnp 1, in the EMS-mutagenized mung bean cultivar Jilv 10 population, which is controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene. Furthermore, we employed a series of microscopical and histological techniques and observed that the tapetal cells in the vrnp 1 mutant did not perform as expected when reaching stage 8 of anther development, notably exhibiting a delay in entering PCD. This was accompanied by a failure to deposit cell wall components onto the pollen wall, culminating in a complete absence of mature pollen and the manifestation of male sterility. In conclusion, the vrnp 1 mutant could potentially serve as a promising candidate for male sterility in exploiting hybrid vigor in mung bean. Our research may elucidate how the delayed initiation of programmed cell death in tapetal cells contributes to a factor implicated in mung bean male sterility. Furthermore, the phenotypic data collected during pivotal developmental phases may have contributed to a better grasp of mung bean microspores and anther development.
