Rice GA3ox1 modulates pollen starch granule accumulation and pollen wall development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The rice GA biosynthetic gene OsGA3ox1 has been proposed to regulate pollen development through the gametophytic manner, but cellular characterization of its mutant pollen is lacking.

Comparative transcriptome analysis and ChIP-sequencing reveals stage-specific gene expression and regulation profiles associated with pollen wall formation in Brassica rapa [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Genic male sterility (GMS) line is an important approach to utilize heterosis in Brassica rapa, one of the most widely cultivated vegetable crops in Northeast Asia. However, the molecular genetic mechanisms of GMS remain to be largely unknown.

Ostkpr1 functions in anther cuticle development and pollen wall formation in rice [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background During pollen wall formation in flowering plants, a conserved metabolon consisting of acyl-CoA synthetase (ACOS), polyketide synthase (PKS) and tetraketide α-pyrone reductase (TKPR), is required for sporopollenin synthesis.

CaZAT5 delays the flowering time in tomato and affects pollen viability and anther dehiscence. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsMale sterility (MS) plays a crucial role in plant reproduction and hybrid breeding as it is associated with pollen viability and release. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing anther dehiscence in peppers remain poorly characterized.

Hidden Xyloglucan Architecture of the Pollen Intine in Gagea lutea Revealed by Sequential Enzymatic Unmasking [PDF]
BiologyThe organisation of hemicelluloses within the pollen intine of many monocots remains inadequately characterised, partly due to the masking of epitopes within complex wall matrices. In this study, mature pollen grains of Gagea lutea (L.) Ker-Gawl.

Sequential Deposition and Remodeling of Cell Wall Polymers During Tomato Pollen Development
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The cell wall of a mature pollen grain is a highly specialized, multilayered structure. The outer, sporopollenin-based exine provides protection and support to the pollen grain, while the inner intine, composed primarily of cellulose, is important for ...

2, 6-Dichlorobenzonitrile causes multiple effects on pollen tube growth beyond altering cellulose synthesis in Pinus bungeana Zucc. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cellulose is an important component of cell wall, yet its location and function in pollen tubes remain speculative. In this paper, we studied the role of cellulose synthesis in pollen tube elongation in Pinus bungeana Zucc.
