Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb386540
• Gene Symbol: MS2
• Gene Name: male sterile2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis showed decreased accumulation of cutin and wax components in MS2 anthers, indicating that MS2 plays a role in the transport of lipid molecules to anther cuticle and pollen exine.
• MS2 is the first reported ABCG transporter gene that participates in anther development in maize.
• Maize MS2 encodes an ATP-binding cassette transporter that is essential for anther development.
• MS2 protein was experimentally confirmed to be located on the cell membrane.
• MS2 gene from the maize male sterile2 mutant using map-based cloning and determined that it encodes an ABCG transporter.
