Differential expression of proteins in the wild type and 7B-1 male-sterile mutant anthers of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum): a proteomic analysis.

Abstract excerpt

In the 7B-1 male-sterile mutant of tomato, pollen development breaks down prior to meiosis in microspore mother cells (MMCs). We have used the proteomic approach to identify differentially expressed proteins in the wild type (WT) and mutant anthers with the objective of analyzing their roles in normal pollen development and in male sterility. By using 2-DE and DIGE technologies, over 1800 spots were detected and...
