A role for maize ROP2 GTPase in the male gametophyte
ROP GTPases are crucial regulators of pollen tube growth. The Rop GTPase family in maize consists of nine known rop genes, ropl-rop9. A subset of these genes (rop2, rop8, and rop9) are expressed in pollen. The rop2 and rop9 genes are a highly conserved duplicate gene pair of ancient origin. The rop2...
