“…Support for this opinion comes from recent studies on anther-specific genes (11,18,20,23) of mRNAs in lily, tobacco, and rice pollen (25,30). There is also a similar literature on organ-and tissue-specific proteins in Japanese morning glory (2,22), Tulipa (1,3), Gladiolus pollen and stigma (7), Lycopersicon flowers (28), Petunia anthers (24), carrot stamen (17), maize and tobacco pollen (8,35), and, most recently, of developing lily (Lilium longiflorum) anthers (33).…”
