The male germ unit association is independently regulated of GUM in Arabidopsis thaliana by Abdur Rauf, Anbang Wang, Yujia Li, Zhihao Lian, Shouxing Wei, Kashmala Jabbar, Muhammad Wisal, Ikramullah Khan, Muhammad Khalid, Jingyang Li

“…Abstract Cytoplasmic projections (CPs) formed by the generative and sperm cells link the male gametes with the vegetative cell (VC) nucleus, which are required to build the male germ unit (MGU) assemblage in the angiosperm pollen grain. As molecular and genetic controls underlying CP development and formation of the MGU are unknown, it was hypothesized that physical association between germ cells and the VC nucleus might be lost in germ unit malformed (gum) mutants or in those which either block generative cell (GC) division or that additionally prevent gamete differentiation. …”
