Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information expression of BcMF2 reaches its maximum in the stage IV flower buds Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis

Application

Application Comment Organism
additional information BcMF2 (Brassica campestris male fertility 2) gene may encode a new polygalacturonase with an important role in pollen wall development, possibly via regulation of pectin’s dynamic metabolism Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
BcMF2 cloned in the antisense orientation into the binary vector pBI121 and transferred into the Chinese cabbage Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
antisense RNA inhibits BcMF2 expression, which results in abnormal pollen tube growth and consequent reduction in male fertility. BcMF2 inhibition leads to pollen deformities with abnormal intine development and in early degradation of the anther tapetum Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis
