Male gametophyte specific expression helps identify a conserved gene associated with increased pollen fitness

Creator:

Colebrook, Sean Jr., Unger-Wallace, Erica, and Vollbrecht, Erik

Abstract:

GRMZM2G372877 was identified as a gene with potential function in the male gametophyte based on its strong expression in mature pollen relative to other maize tissues (Chettoor et al. 2014). Identification of a Ds insertion mutation in this gene from the Brutnell/Vollbrecht collection provided further support for this hypothesis, as...

Discovery of novel transcripts and gametophytic functions via RNA-seq analysis of maize gametophytic transcriptomes

Creator:

Chettoor, Antony, Givan, Scott, Cole, Rex, Coker, Clayton, Unger-Wallace, Erica, Vejlupkova, Zuzana, Vollbrecht, Erik, Fowler, John, and Evans, Matthew

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Plant gametophytes play central roles in sexual reproduction. A hallmark of the plant life cycle is that gene expression is required in the haploid gametophytes. Consequently, many mutant phenotypes are expressed in this phase. RESULTS: We perform a quantitative RNA-seq analysis of embryo sacs, comparator ovules with the embryo...
