Abstract excerpt
The anther cuticle, which is mainly composed of lipid polymers, functions as physical barriers to protect genetic material intact; however, the mechanism of lipid biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays. L.) anther remains unclear. Herein, we report a male sterile mutant, male sterile 305 (ms305), in maize. It was shown that the mutant displayed a defective anther tapetum development and premature microspore degradation....
