Abstract excerpt
Hydration is the first step in pollen germination. However, the process is not well understood. OsMLO12 is highly expressed in mature pollen grains; plants containing alleles caused by transfer DNA insertions do not produce homozygous progeny. Reciprocal crosses between wild-type and OsMLO12/osmlo12 plants showed that the mutant alleles were not transmitted through the male gametophyte. Microscopic observations...
