FIGURE 9

A diagram explaining AIF2-regulated pollen development and seed formation. Stage-independent aberrant expression of pollen-producing genes such as SPL and MS1 together with suppression of sucrose-transporting SWEETs, lipid biosynthesis-regulating FADs/LPCATs, and valve margin-forming IND/ALC in AIF2ox plants may act adversely on pollen microspore development, auxin-regulated seed formation and proper silique development. Sucrose- and BR-induced repression of AIF2 bHLH transcription factor positively controls pollen development and/or seed size and numbers.
