text DTM1 ( DEFECTIVE TAPETUM AND MEIOCYTES 1 ) is unique to cereals: no homologous gene occurs in dicot species, including Arabidopsis. DTM1 controls the early stages of anther development. Decreased expression of DTM1 was observed in mutant of MSP1 but not in UDT1 mutant, therfore, DTM1 functions later than MSP1 but prior to UDT1. DTM1 is an ER protein and plays important roles in the ER membrane during early tapetum development.
