Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaFAd
• Gene Name: mitochondrial ATP synthase precursor
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression of the nuclear gene TaFAd is under mitochondrial retrograde regulation in anthers of male sterile wheat plants with timopheevii cytoplasm.
• the full cDNA of the gene TaFAd that encodes the putative FAd subunit of the FoF1-ATP synthase was isolated from the wheat (Triticum aestivum) fertility restorer ‘2114’ for timopheevii cytoplasm-based CMS.
• TaFAd is a single copy gene in wheat and maps to the short arm of the group 6 chromosomes. Transient expression of the TaFAd–GFP fusion in onion epidermal cells demonstrated TaFAd’s mitochondrial location. TaFAd was expressed abundantly in stem, leaf, anther, and ovary tissues of 2114.
• These observations implied that TaFAd is under mitochondrial retrograde regulation in the anthers of CMS plants with timopheevii cytoplasm.
