Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BnPME
  • Gene Name: pectinmethylesterase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

  • BnPME is progressively induced after microspore reprogramming to embryogenesis, correlating with pectin de-esterification and cell differentiation in Brassica napus.
  • The results showed that cell differentiation at advanced developmental stages involved induction of BnPME expression and pectin de-esterification, processes that were also detected in zygotic embryos, providing additional evidence that microspore embryogenesis mimics zygotic embryogenesis.
  • By contrast, early microspore embryogenesis, totipotency and proliferation were associated with low expression of BnPME and high levels of esterified pectins.
  • The results showed an increase in BnPME expression with embryogenesis progression, and the developmental regulation of the methylesterification status of pectins during microspore embryogenesis and gametophytic development.
