The RAB5–REAP1–ROP7 signaling network supports normal pollen development.

Caption

Left, schematic representation of the RAB5-REAP1-ROP7 network. Right, abnormal pollen grains (arrowheads) were observed in approximately half of the pollen tetrads when ROP7 function and RAB5 activity were simultaneously reduced. Scale bar, 20 μm.
