Abstract excerpt
In flowering plants, pollen formation is a complex process and strictly controlled by genetic factors. Although thousands of genes have been identified to be highly or specifically expressed in pollen grains, little is known about the functions and regulatory mechanisms of the genes in pollen formation. Here we report the characterization of a novel gene, MALE GAMETOPHYTE DEFECTIVE 1 (MGP1), that is essential for...
