The invention discloses a
plant pollen wall development related
protein OsEXA5 as well as a coding
gene and application thereof. The
protein provided by the invention is a
protein as shown in (a) or (b): (a) a protein consisting of an
amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.1; and (b) a protein which is obtained by substitution and / or deletion and / or addition of one or more
amino acid residues on the
amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.1, is related to
plant pollen wall development and is derived from SEQ ID NO.1. The
plant pollen development related protein provided by the invention affects the male
gametophyte development process of plants. The inhibition of the expression of the
protein coding gene can lead to abnormal development of plant male gametophytes and influence the formation of grains, so that transgenic plants with abnormal
pollen wall development and male sterile transgenic plants can be cultivated. When the coding
gene of the protein is introduced into a male sterile plant, a plant with normally developed male
gametophyte can be cultivated. The protein and the coding gene thereof can be applied to plant genetic improvement.
