Genes regulating cell differentiation in early stages (1–5) of anther development. Three cell layers (L1, L2, L3) present in anther primordium divide to form: L1: epidermis (E), L2: endothecium (En), middle layer (ML), tapetum (T), and pollen mother cell (PMC), L3: connective tissue and vascular bundle (C). The development of L2 to En, ML, T, and PMC proceed through several intermediates, e.g., primary parietal cell, archesporial cell, secondary parietal cell, primary sporogenous cell, secondary sporogenous cell. The genes are shown in italics. AG: AGAMOUS, SEP: SEPTELLA, BAM: BARELY ANY MERISTEM, ROXY1/2: Arabidopsis CC-TYPE GLUTAREDOXINS, SPL/NZZ: SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE, TCP: TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF transcription factors, SERK: SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE, EMS1/EXS: EXCESS MICROSPOROCYTES1/EXTRA SPOROGENOUS CELLS, RPK2: RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASE2, DYT1: DYSFUNCTIONAL TAPETUM1, TPD1: TAPETAL DETERMINANT 1, TPL/TPR: TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED.
