| Abstract | We have isolated and characterized cDNA clones of a gene family (P2) expressed in Oenothera organensis pollen. This family contains approximately six to eight family members and is expressed at high levels only in pollen. The predicted protein sequence from a near full-length cDNA clone shows that the protein products of these genes are at least 38,000 daltons. We identified the protein encoded by one of the cDNAs in this family by using antibodies to beta-galactosidase/pollen cDNA fusion proteins. Immunoblot analysis using these antibodies identifies a family of proteins of approximately 40 kilodaltons that is present in mature pollen, indicating that these mRNAs are not stored solely for translation after pollen germination. These proteins accumulate late in pollen development and are not detectable in other parts of the plant. Although not present in unpollinated or self-pollinated styles, the 40-kilodalton to 45-kilodalton antigens are detectable in extracts from cross-pollinated styles, suggesting that the proteins are present in pollen tubes growing through the style during pollination. The proteins are also present in pollen tubes growing in vitro. Both nucleotide and amino acid sequences are similar to the published sequences for cDNAs encoding the enzyme polygalacturonase, which suggests that the P2 gene family may function in depolymerizing pectin during pollen development, germination, and tube growth. Cross-hybridizing RNAs and immunoreactive proteins were detected in pollen from a wide variety of plant species, which indicates that the P2 family of polygalacturonase-like genes are conserved and may be expressed in the pollen from many angiosperms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
