BCP1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G089625, designated MtBCP1 and located on chromosome 8 of barrel medic (Medicago truncatula), encodes a protein of unknown molecular function. The gene is associated with pollen sperm cell differentiation, secondary metabolism, secretion, cell death, nodulation, and signal transduction. Its product is localized to the membrane and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link the BCP1 family to anther-specific protein function and pollen fertility.
