Genetic control of male germ unit organization in Arabidopsis.

Plant physiology - 1 Jun 2002

Lalanne Eric, Twell David

Abstract excerpt

In flowering plants, the vegetative nucleus and the two sperm cells are proposed to form a functional assemblage, the male germ unit (MGU). Here, we describe the developmental pathway of MGU assembly in Arabidopsis and report two classes of mutations that affect the integrity and/or the positioning of the MGU in the mature pollen grain. In germ unit malformed (gum) mutants, the vegetative nucleus is positioned...
