    Notes: Abstract The Brassica napus cDNA clone A9 and the corresponding Arabidopsis thaliana gene have been sequenced. The B. napus cDNA and the A. thaliana gene encode proteins that are 73% identical and are predicted to be 10.3 kDa and 11.6 kDa in size respectively. Fusions of an RNase gene and the reporter gene β-glucuronidase to the A. thaliana A9 promoter demonstrated that in tobacco the A9 promoter is active solely in tapetal cells. Promoter activity is first detectable in anthers prior to sporogenous cell meiosis and ceases during microspore premitotic interphase. The deduced A9 protein sequence has a pattern of cysteine residues that is present in a superfamily of seed plant proteins which contains seed storage proteins and several protease and α-amylase inhibitors.

    The highly expressed tapetum-specific A9 gene is not required for male fertility in Brassica napus (1994)
    Springer
    Plant molecular biology 24 (1994), S. 97-104

    ISSN: 1573-5028
    Keywords: anther ; antisense RNA ; Brassica napus ; male fertility ; tapetum

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract An antisense approach was used to attempt to determine the function of the highly abundant, tapetum-specific A9 transcript in microsporogenesis. A Brassica napus A9 cDNA clone was linked in sense and antisense orientations to the Arabidopsis thaliana A9 promoter and the resulting chimaeric genes introduced into B. napus. A high proportion of the offspring of B. napus antisense A9 plants had very low or undetectable levels of A9 mRNA. However, these plants set seed and had pollen of normal or near normal viability. Therefore, under the conditions studied, the A9 protein appears not to be essential for male fertility in B. napus.

    Patterns of gene expression in developing anthers of Brassica napus (1991)

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between bud length, anther length and stage of anther development has been investigated in Brassica napus using a series of cytological markers that define steps in the process of male gametogenesis. It was determined that bud length is directly related to anther length and that anther or bud length is tightly linked to the stage of male gametogenesis within the anther. This simple correlation has enabled the construction of cDNA libraries representing transcripts expressed in defined stages of anther development, and the detailed examination of the developmental pattern of expression of anther RNAs. Two anther cDNA libraries were constructed, one from anthers of 1.2–1.8 mm long buds (sporogenesis library) and one from anthers of 1.8–4.0 mm long buds (microspore development library). A total of 19 independent cDNAs have been isolated by differential screening whose temporal expression patterns overlap and which together cover the stages of anther development from pre-meiotic microsporocytes to tri-nucleate pollen grains. The pattern of expression of each of these clones is unique and indicates that stages of anther development which cannot be easily distinguished by light microscopy can be recognised by virtue of the absence or presence of certain RNAs. Three cDNAs isolated from the sporogenesis library have been shown by in situ hybridisation to be tapetum-specific. In contrast, five clones isolated from the microspore development library are microspore-specific. These clones exhibit a pattern of expression different to those previously described in that their transcripts are absent in mature pollen grains. Thus these RNAs are probably required in microspore development rather than for the growth of the germinating pollen grain.
