Successful Predictive Modeling of Pollen Fitness Phenotypes Is Enabled by Measures of Expression Specificity

Sebastian A.F. Mueller, Zuzana Vejlupkova, Molly S. Megraw, John E. Fowler

The paper develops a machine learning framework to predict maize pollen fitness phenotypes using genomic and expression data, finding that expression specificity is a critical feature for accurate predictions.

Spatial inheritance patterns across maize ears are associated with alleles that reduce pollen fitness

Diana Ruggiero, Michelle Bang, Marilyn Leary, Harrison Flieg, Luis Garcia-Lamas, Zuzana Vejlupkova, Molly S. Megraw, Duo Jiang, Samuel Leiboff, John E. Fowler

The paper shows pollen fitness alleles in maize affect spatial inheritance patterns across ears, with non-Mendelian transmission trends observed in specific mutants.

Potent pollen gene regulation by DNA glycosylases in maize

Yibing Zeng, Julian Somers, Harrison S. Bell, Zuzana Vejlupkova, R. Kelly Dawe, John E. Fowler, Bradlee D. Nelms, Jonathan Isaiah Gent

The paper identifies 58 DNG target genes in maize pollen that are silenced in plant body tissues but expressed in pollen, revealing their role in pollen viability and function.
