High impact information on QRT3

Thus, QRT3 plays a direct role in degrading the pollen mother cell wall during microspore development [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of QRT3

In situ hybridization experiments showed that QRT3 is specifically and transiently expressed in the tapetum during the phase when microspores separate from their meiotic siblings [1].

References

Microspore separation in the quartet 3 mutants of Arabidopsis is impaired by a defect in a developmentally regulated polygalacturonase required for pollen mother cell wall degradation. Rhee, S.Y., Osborne, E., Poindexter, P.D., Somerville, C.R. Plant Physiol. (2003) [Pubmed]
