RNA-Seq analysis of wild-type and dmd1 anthers at tetrad stage


ABSTRACT: Highly coordinated pollen wall patterning is essential for male reproductive development. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we report the identification of Defective Microspore Development1 (DMD1), which encodes a nuclear-localized protein possessing transactivation activity. DMD1 is preferentially expressed in the tapetum and microspores during postmeiotic anther development. Mutations in DMD1 cause a male sterile phenotype with impaired microspore cell integrity. The mutants display abnormal callose degradation, and primexine thickening is inhibited in the newly released microspores. The expression levels of several genes associated with callose degradation and primexine formation are down-regulated in dmd1 anthers. Moreover, irregular Ubisch body morphology and discontinuous endexine is observed in dmd1, and the baculum is completely absent. DMD1 interacts with Tapetum Degeneration Retardation (TDR), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor required for exine formation. Taken together, our results suggest that DMD1 is responsible for microspore cell integrity, primexine formation, and exine pattern formation during rice microspore development, and is a potential approach for manipulating male fertility in hybrid rice breeding.
