A rodent model for Wilms tumors: embryonal kidney neoplasms induced by N-nitroso-N'-methylurea.

abstract：:The development of anther and pollen is important for male reproduction, and this process is coordinately regulated by many external and internal cues. In this study, we systematically examined the male reproductive phenotypes of a series of brassinosteroid biosynthetic and signaling mutants and found that, besides th...
