MROS1, a male stamen-specific gene in the dioecious campion Silene latifolia is expressed in mature pollen.
The MROS1 gene, one of the genes that are expressed specifically in male reproductive organs of a dioecious campion Silene latifolia, was predicted to encode only 36 amino acids but have an intron. In situ hybridization revealed that MROS1 mRNA was localized in mature pollen grains.
