DYSFUNCTIONAL TAPETUM 1; T6K22.60; T6K22_60
NCBI Protein Information
basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a bHLH transcription factor strongly expressed in the tapetum from late anther stage 5 to early stage 6, and at a lower level in meiocytes. dyt1 mutant exhibits abnormal anther morphology beginning at anther stage 4. DYT1 acts downstream of SPL/NZZ and EMS1/EXS, and is required for normal expression of AMS, MS1 and other tapetum preferential genes.
