Abstract: CMS is one of the most important system for F1 seed production in Chinese cabbage. Concerning the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of CMS, the changes of soluble sugar, soluble protein, amino acids and isozymes in anther at different development stage of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility line and its maintainers in Chinese cabbage have been investigated in this study. It showed that the contents of soluble sugar, soluble protein in CMS were significant lower than its maintainer. No difference was observed in the contents of total free amino acids between CMS and its maintainer. However, the proline content in CMS was significantly lower than its maintainer; Bands pattern differences were observed for 6 kinds of isozymes (AAT, MDH, EST, POD, COD and PPO) in anther at different development stages between sterile and maintainer line.

Key words: Chinese cabbage, Cytoplasmic male sterility, Anther, Amino acids, Protein, Isozymes
