Cell biology and gene expression analyses established that SlMPK20 exerts its role specifically at the uni-to-binucleate transition during microgametogenesis. This assertion is based on the findings that the transgenic pollen was largely arrested at the binucleate stage with the appearance of subcellular abnormality at the middle uninucleate microspore stage; and SlMPK20 mRNA and SlMPK20-GUS signals were localized in the tetrads, uninuclear microspores and binuclear pollen grains but not in microspore mother cells or mature pollen grains. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed that knockout of SlMPK20 significantly reduced the expression of a large number of genes controlling sugar and auxin metabolism and signaling in anthers. Finally, protein-protein interaction assays identified SlMYB32 as a putative target protein of SlMPK20. We conclude that SlMPK20 specifically regulates post-meiotic pollen development through modulating sugar and auxin metabolism and signaling.]]> Thu 28 Sep 2023 15:08:10 AEST ]]> Sugar loading of crop seeds - a partnership of phloem, plasmodesmal and membrane transport https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52099 Thu 28 Sep 2023 14:50:07 AEST ]]> Looking into 'hair tonics' for cotton fiber initiation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40991 Thu 21 Jul 2022 09:41:24 AEST ]]> An epidermal-specific ethylene signal cascade regulates trans-differentiation of transfer cells in Vicia faba cotyledons https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9443 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:41:33 AEDT ]]> Early gene expression programs accompanying trans-differentiation of epidermal cells of Vicia faba cotyledons into transfer cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6985 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:50 AEDT ]]>
