The Regulation of Sporopollenin Biosynthesis Genes for Rapid Pollen Wall Formation

Abstract

Sporopollenin is the major component of the outer pollen wall (sexine). It is synthesized using a pathway of approximately eight genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). MALE STERILITY188 (MS188) and its direct upstream regulator ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) are two transcription factors essential for tapetum development. Here, we show that all the sporopollenin biosynthesis proteins are specifically expressed in the tapetum and are secreted into anther locules. MS188, a MYB transcription factor expressed in the tapetum, directly regulates the expression of POLYKETIDE SYNTHASE A (PKSA), PKSB, MALE STERILE2 (MS2), and a CYTOCHROME P450 gene (CYP703A2). By contrast, the expression of CYP704B1, ACYL-COA SYNTHETASE5 (ACOS5), TETRAKETIDE a-PYRONE REDUCTASE1 (TKPR1) and TKPR2 are significantly reduced in ams mutants but not affected in ms188 mutants. However, MS188 but not AMS can activate the expression of CYP704B1, ACOS5, and TKPR1 In ms188, dominant suppression of MS188 homologs reduced the expression of these genes, suggesting that MS188 and other MYB family members play redundant roles in activating their expression. The expression of some sporopollenin synthesis genes (PKSA, PKSB, TKPR2, CYP704B1, and ACOS5) was rescued when M...Continue Reading
