Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os10g0471100 <=> Wda1, wda1, OS-CER1, OsGL1-5
Function
- Wda1 encodes a protein with high similarity to proteins involved in wax production
Mutation
Figure 1. Comparison of wild-type (left) and wda1 knockout (right) plants after bolting. [1].
- wda1 mutants show significant defects in the biosynthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids in both layers.
- Scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that epicuticular wax crystals were absent in the outer layer of the anther and that microspore development was severely retarded and finally disrupted as a result of defective pollen exine formation in the mutant anthers. These biochemical and developmental defects in tapetum found in wda1 mutants are earlier events than those in other male-sterile mutants, which showed defects of lipidic molecules in exine.
Expression
- Wda1 gene is strongly expressed in the epidermal cells of anthers.
