Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: BcMF2
• Gene Name: Male Fertility 2
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica campestris

Functional Descriptions:

• The polygalacturonase gene BcMF2 from Brassica campestris is associated with intine development.
• Brassica campestris Male Fertility 2 (BcMF2) is a putative polygalacturonase (PG) gene previously isolated from the flower bud of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp.
• Pollen tube arrest in antisense BcMF2 transgenic plants may result from confused pectin metabolism.
• BcMF2 might therefore encode a new PG with an important role in pollen wall development, possibly via regulation of pectin’s dynamic metabolism.
