The function of ATP Binding Cassette G (ABCG) transporters in the regulation of plant vegetative organs development has been well characterized in various plant species. In contrast, their function in reproductive development particularly male reproductive development received considerably less attention till some ABCG transporters was reported to be associated with anther and pollen wall development in Arabidopsis thaliana and rice (Oryza sativa) during the past decade. This mini-review summarizes current knowledge of ABCG transporters regarding to their roles in male reproduction and underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms, which makes it evident that ABCG transporters represent one of those conserved and divergent components closely related to male reproduction in plants. This mini-review also discusses the current challenges and future perspectives in this particular field.
ATP结合盒G(ABCG)转运蛋白在调控植物营养器官发育中的功能,已在多种植物物种中得到充分表征。相比之下,它们在生殖发育尤其是雄性生殖发育中的功能,直到过去十年中一些ABCG转运蛋白被报道与拟南芥和水稻(Oryza sativa)的花药和花粉壁发育相关时,才受到较少关注。本综述总结了关于ABCG转运蛋白在雄性生殖中的作用及其潜在遗传和生化机制的现有知识,这表明ABCG转运蛋白是与植物雄性生殖密切相关的保守且多样的成分之一。本综述还讨论了该特定领域当前面临的挑战和未来前景。
