UniprotDEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: First observed in floral meristem and early anther primordia. Later detected in archesporial cells. From stage 4 to early stage 5, weakly expressed in precursors of the middle layer, tapetum and meiocytes. Strongly expressed in the tapetum from late anther stage 5 to early stage 6, and at a lower level in meiocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16831835}.
UniprotTISSUE SPECIFICITY: Mostly expressed in anthers, and, to a lower extent, in young inflorescences undergoing meiosis and siliques. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16831835}.

Source Description
TAIREncodes a bHLH transcription factor strongly expressed in the tapetum from late anther stage 5 to early stage 6, and at a lower level in meiocytes. dyt1 mutant exhibits abnormal anther morphology beginning at anther stage 4. DYT1 acts downstream of SPL/NZZ and EMS1/EXS , and is required for normal expression of AMS, MS1 and other tapetum preferential genes.
UniProtTranscription factor. Involved in the control of tapetum development. Required for male fertility and pollen differentiation, especially during callose deposition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16831835}.
