Abstract: In recent years, study of photoperiod- and/or thermosensitive male sterility (PTSMS) has made great progress, because of the significance of heterosis and regulation mechanisms for crops. In this paper, we review the status of PTSMS in terms of molecular regulation mechanisms and genetics. In addition, we discuss the problems and developmental prospects in the field of PTSMS.
