Abstract excerpt
In Arabidopsis, we previously identified two highly similar apyrases, AtAPY1 and AtAPY2. Here, T-DNA knockout (KO) mutations of each gene were isolated in a reverse genetic approach. The single KO mutants lacked a discernible phenotype. The double KO mutants, however, exhibited a complete inhibition of pollen germination, and this correlated with positive beta-glucuronidase staining in the pollen of apyrase...
