General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction enzyme-deficient pop2 flowers accumulate GABA, and the growth of many pop2 pollen tubes is arrested, consistent with their in vitro GABA hypersensitivity. Some pop2 tubes continue to grow toward ovules, yet they are misguided, presumably because they target ectopic GABA on the ovule surface. Wild-type tubes decreased POP2 activity leads to increased levels of GABA throughout the ovule, coupled with aberrant growth and guidance of pop2 pollen tubes Arabidopsis thaliana
physiological function the POP2 gene encodes a transaminase that degrades GABA and contributes to the formation of a gradient leading up to the micropyle, effect of GABA on pollen tube elongation in vitro Arabidopsis thaliana
