High impact information on AGP18

  • A cytological analysis of all defective AGP18-RNAi lines, combined with the analysis of molecular markers acting at key stages of female gametogenesis, showed that the functional megaspore fails to enlarge and mitotically divide, indicating that AGP18 is essential to initiate female gametogenesis in Arabidopsis [1].
  • We have used a combination of enhancer detection tagging and RNA interference (RNAi)-induced posttrancriptional silencing to demonstrate that AGP18, a gene encoding a classical arabinogalactan protein, is essential for female gametogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana [1].
  • AtAGP17 was strongly expressed in leaves and stems, and weakly expressed in flowers and roots; AtAGP18 was strongly expressed in flowers, and moderately expressed in roots, stems and young leaves; and AtAGP19 was strongly expressed in stems, moderately expressed in flowers and roots, and weakly expressed in young leaves [2].
