Comparative transcriptome of Arabidopsis athmgb15-4 mutant and wild type (Col-0) buds during anther development (stages 8-11)
Study of AtHMGB15, an ARID-HMG DNA-binding protein have revealed that it functions in pollen development by interacting with several transcription factors related to the process. This study encompasses a comparative transcriptome of bud tissue (anther stages 8-11) between wild type (Col-0) and athmgb15-4 mutant. Our analysis of the data discloses the abnormal actin polymerization in the initial stages of pollen development which attributes to delay in pollen tube germination and anther dehiscence.
