Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Medtr4g094762
- Gene Symbol: EAN1
- Gene Name: Medicago truncatula empty anther1
- Genome:
- Species: Medicago truncatula
Functional Descriptions:
- We characterized the male-sterile mutant empty anther1 (EAN1) and identified EAN1 as a tapetum-specific bHLH transcription factor necessary for tapetum degeneration.
- Identified EAN1 as a tapetum-specific bHLH transcription factor necessary for tapetum degeneration.
- Based on phylogenetic and expression analyses, we reveal that EAN1, encoding a tapetum-specific bHLH transcription factor, belongs to the subfamily II, which together with the subfamily III(a + c)1 constitute two evolutionarily conserved bHLH subfamilies required for tapetum degeneration.
