NCBI Protein Information
Pectin lyase-like superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Required for pollen separation during normal development. In qrt mutants, the outer walls of the four meiotic products of the pollen mother cell are fused, and pollen grains are released in tetrads.May be required for cell type-specific pectin degradation.
