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.
