Cover Caption: The transportation of sporopollenin precursors from tapetum to microspores is important for exine formation in flowering plants. The study of Dou et al. (74–88) shows that mutation of an ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter gene, WBC27, in arabidopsis led to reduced sporopollenin autofluorescence in pollen grains, as compared with the strong autofluorescence in wild-type pollen grains (cover picture). This work proposes that WBC27 is involved in translocating sporopollenin precursors from tapetum to developing microspores. [Detail] ...For Selected: Toggle Thumbnails
