• Information
  • Symbol: PTB1
  • MSU: LOC_Os05g05280
  • RAPdb: Os05g0145000
• Publication
  • Natural variation in PTB1 regulates rice seed setting rate by controlling pollen tube growth, 2013, Nat Commun.
• Genbank accession number
  • KC425226
• Key message
  • Here we show that the domestication-related POLLEN TUBE BLOCKED 1 (PTB1), a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, positively regulates the rice panicle seed setting rate by promoting pollen tube growth
  • Our results support the hypothesis that PTB1 is an important maternal sporophytic factor of pollen tube growth and a key modulator of the rice panicle seed setting rate
  • Natural variation in PTB1 regulates rice seed setting rate by controlling pollen tube growth
  • The natural variation in expression of PTB1 which is affected by the promoter haplotype and the environmental temperature, correlates with the rice panicle seed setting rate
• Connection
