Journal Article
Lin, H., Yu, J., Pearce, S., Zhang, D., & Wilson, Z. A. (2017). RiceAntherNet: a gene co-expression network for identifying anther and pollen development genes. Plant Journal, 92(6), https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.13744

In plants, normal anther and pollen development involves many important biological events and complex molecular regulatory coordination. Understanding gene regulatory relationships during male reproductive development is essential for fundamental bio...

Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation (2017)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Song, J., Ferguson, A. C., Klisch, D., Simpson, K., Mo, R., …Wilson, Z. A. (2017). Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation. Plant Physiology, 175(1), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.00719

Successful fertilization relies on the production and effective release of viable pollen. Failure of anther opening (dehiscence), results in male sterility, although the pollen may be fully functional. MYB26 regulates the formation of secondary thick...

Non-destructive determination of floral staging in cereals using X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT) (2017)
Journal Article
Tracy, S. R., Gómez, J. F., Sturrock, C., Wilson, Z. A., & Ferguson, A. (2017). Non-destructive determination of floral staging in cereals using X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT). Plant Methods, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0162-x

Background Accurate floral staging is required to aid research into pollen and flower development, in particular male development. Pollen development is highly sensitive to stress and is critical for crop yields. Research into male development under...
