The use of male sterile lines is one of the ideal means in hybrid seed production. Despite the widespread application of Ogura cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines, the molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, histological analyses of floral buds from a CMS line 40MA and its corresponding maintainer line 40MB were conducted, which indicate that microspore abortion was initiated shortly after the tetrad stage. RNA sequencing was performed to analyze the transcriptomes of floral buds from the tetrad stage and the ear
