Biphasic regulation of the transcription factor ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) is essential for tapetum and pollen development in Arabidopsis
Viable pollen is essential for plant reproduction and crop yield. Its production requires coordinated expression at specific stages during anther development, involving early meiosis-associated events and late pollen wall formation. The ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) transcription factor is a master regulator of sporopollenin biosynthesis, secretion and pollen wall formation in Arabidopsis. Here we ...
متن کاملRice glycosyltransferase1 encodes a glycosyltransferase essential for pollen wall formation.
The pollen wall consists of an exine and an intine. The mechanism underlying its formation is not well understood. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the modification of biological molecules by attaching a single or multiple sugars and play key roles in a wide range of biological processes. We examined the role of GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASE1 (OsGT1) in pollen wall development in rice (Oryza sativa). This g...
متن کاملCell Wall Composition, Biosynthesis and Remodeling during Pollen Tube Growth
The pollen tube is a fast tip-growing cell carrying the two sperm cells to the ovule allowing the double fertilization process and seed setting. To succeed in this process, the spatial and temporal controls of pollen tube growth within the female organ are critical. It requires a massive cell wall deposition to promote fast pollen tube elongation and a tight control of the cell wall remodeling ...
متن کاملPectic arabinan side chains are essential for pollen cell wall integrity during pollen development.
Pectin is a complex polysaccharide and an integral part of the primary plant cell wall and middle lamella, contributing to cell wall mechanical strength and cell adhesion. To understand the structure-function relationships of pectin in the cell wall, a set of transgenic potato lines with altered pectin composition was analysed. The expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in pectin acetyla...
متن کاملPollen-wall proteins: localization and enzymic activity.
Cytochemical methods have been used to examine the distribution of acid phosphatase, ribonuclease, esterase, amylase and protease activity and protein in the walls of pollen grains and spores. Enzyme activity was detected in the walls of 50 angiosperm pollens, in pine, and in the spore wall of a species of Equisetum. Activity was absent from the 2 species of ferns examined. The survey covered a...
