Analysis of anther transcriptomes to identify genes contributing to meiosis and male gametophyte development in rice
9 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In flowering plants, the anther is the site of male gametophyte development. Two major events in the development of the male germline are meiosis and the asymmetric division in the male gametophyte that gives rise to the vegetative and generative cells, and the following mitotic division in the generative cell that produces two sperm cells. Anther transcriptomes have been analyzed in many plant...
