Gene | Mutant | Phenotype | Species | Refs |
---|---|---|---|---|
PLA1/
DAD1 |
dad1 | WT phenotype can be rescued by the JA application | Arabidopsis | [76] |
Developmental delay of flower bud opening | ||||
Before flower opening, all cell types are normally developed in mutant anthers, similar to all structural features | ||||
Pollen grains develop normally up to the trinucleate stage | ||||
A defect in pollen grains occurs at the final stage of their maturation | ||||
Defective in anther dehiscence | ||||
P0491E01 | Normal anther development at the initial stages | rice | [81] | |
Microspores development into mature pollen grains is impaired | ||||
LOX3
LOX4 |
lox3 lox4 | Male sterile. JA application restored fertility | Arabidopsis | [82] |
Abnormal anther maturation | ||||
Pollen is not viable | ||||
Defective dehiscence | ||||
Shorter filaments | ||||
AOS | dde2-2 | Male-sterile phenotype which can be rescued by Me-JA application | Arabidopsis | [83] |
Impaired anther dehiscence and filament elongation | ||||
DDE1/
OPR3 |
dde1/opr3 | WT phenotype can be rescued by the MeJA application | Arabidopsis | [84,85] |
Floral organs develop normally within the closed bud | ||||
The anther locules do not dehisce at the time of flower opening | ||||
Pollen develops to the trinucleate stage | ||||
Pollen grains are predominantly inviable | ||||
The filaments do not elongate sufficiently to position the locules above the stigma at anthesis |
