High impact information on SERK2

Here, we report a critical function in anther development for the SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR KINASE1 (SERK1) and SERK2 genes [1].
Single knockout mutants of SERK1 and SERK2 show no obvious phenotypes [2].

Other interactions of SERK2

Both SERK1 and SERK2 are expressed widely in locules until stage 6 anthers and are more concentrated in the tapetal cell layer later [1].
