Arabidopsis thaliana GEX1 has dual functions in gametophyte development and early embryogenesis.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Nov 2011

Alandete-Saez Monica, Ron Mily, Leiboff Samuel, McCormick Sheila

Abstract excerpt

GEX1 is a plasma membrane protein that is conserved among plant species, and has previously been shown to be expressed in sperm cells and some sporophytic tissues. Here we show that GEX1 is also expressed in the embryo sac before cellularization, in the egg cell after cellularization, in the zygote/embryo immediately after fertilization and in the pollen vegetative cell. We functionally characterize GEX1 in...
