Article Synopsis
- DDP1 is a gene that plays a key role in rice male fertility by regulating anther dehiscence and pollen fertility through lipid deposition on the anther epidermis and pollen wall.
- The ddp1 mutant shows partial male sterility due to abnormal anther dehiscence and changes in pollen traits, distinct from similar mutants in other plants.
- The study reveals that DDP1 influences lipid metabolism and gene expression related to pollen development, highlighting its importance in ensuring proper male reproductive functionality in rice.
