PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE SYNTHASE1 is required for microspore development in Arabidopsis thaliana
6 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylserine (PS) has many important biological roles, but little is known about its role in plants, partly because of its low abundance. We show here that PS is enriched in Arabidopsis floral tissues and that genetic disruption of PS biosynthesis decreased heterozygote fertility due to inhibition of pollen maturation. At1g15110, designated PSS1, encodes a base-exchange-type PS synthase. Escherichia coli...
