Analysis of the Arabidopsis fatty acyl-CoA synthetase5 gene and co-expressed genes reveals an ancient biochemical pathway required for pollen development and sporopollenin biosynthesis
The structure of the sporopollenin polymer that is the major constituent of exine, the outer pollen wall, remains poorly understood. In flowering plants, sporopollenin precursors are known to be produced in the tapetum and must be deposited and polymerized on the developing microspore during exine f...
