Abstract excerpt
serine threonine kinase1 (stk1) and serine threonine kinase2 (stk2) are closely related maize paralogous genes predicted to encode serine/threonine protein kinases. Pollen mutated in stk1 or stk2 competes poorly with normal pollen, pointing to a defect in pollen tube germination or growth. Both genes are expressed in pollen, but not in most other tissues. In germination media, STK1 and STK2 fluorescent fusion...
