| Type | Comment |
|---|---|
| developmental stage | In flowers, accumulates in the female gametophytes at different stages, as well as in early embryos and endosperms. |
| function | Essential for fertility (male and female gametophyte functions and development) (PubMed:23085019). Required for the integrity of female gametic mitochondria (PubMed:23085019). Modulates male gametophyte functions, including pollen tube growth and style penetration (PubMed:23085019). Involved in mitochondrial-driven cell-to-cell communication in embryo sacs during female gametes maturation (including embryogenesis initiation and endosperm development), especially for reciprocal signaling between central and egg cells which regulates reciprocal development (PubMed:23085019). |
| tissue specificity | Expressed at high levels in reproductive organs and, at lower levels, ubiquitously. |
