Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • The bHLH transcription factors MS23, Ms32, bHLH122 and bHLH51 are involved in anther somatic cell development in turn, and play an important role in regulating the proliferation of proper tapetum cells.
  • MS23, Ms32, bHLH122 and bHLH51 showed sterility after mutation of 4 transcription factors.
  • The male-sterile ms23, Ms32, and bhlh122-1 mutants lack 24-nt phased secondary small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) and the precursor transcripts from the corresponding 24-PHAS loci, while the bhlh51-1 mutant has wild-type levels of both precursors and small RNA products.
  • Multiple lines of evidence suggest that 24-nt phasiRNA biogenesis primarily occurs downstream of MS23 and Ms32, both of which directly activate Dcl5 and are required for most 24-PHAS transcription, with bHLH122 playing a distinct role in 24-PHAS transcription.
