ABCG26-exported polyketides traffic from tapetal cells to form the sporopollenin backbone, in coordination with the trafficking of additional constituents, prior to tapetum programmed cell death.
Title: ABCG26-mediated polyketide trafficking and hydroxycinnamoyl spermidines contribute to pollen wall exine formation in Arabidopsis.

AtABCG26, which is required for pollen development in Arabidopsis. An AtABCG26 mutant developed very few pollen grains, resulting in a male-sterile phenotype.
Title: Arabidopsis mutant of AtABCG26, an ABC transporter gene, is defective in pollen maturation.

results suggest that the ABC transporter, WBC27 (AT3G13220) plays important roles in the formation of arabidopsis exine, possibly by translocation of lipidic precursors of sporopollenin from tapetum to developing microspores
Title: WBC27, an adenosine tri-phosphate-binding cassette protein, controls pollen wall formation and patterning in Arabidopsis.

Arabidopsis thaliana ABCG26 plays a crucial role in the transfer of sporopollenin lipid precursors from tapetal cells to anther locules, facilitating exine formation on the pollen surface.
Title: An ABCG/WBC-type ABC transporter is essential for transport of sporopollenin precursors for exine formation in developing pollen.

ABCG26 is required for normal male fertility, exine formation, and pollen maturation.
Title: ATP-binding cassette transporter G26 is required for male fertility and pollen exine formation in Arabidopsis.
