The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex, which consists of eight subunits named COG1–COG8, is highly conserved with homologous subunits present in most eukaryotic species. In yeast and mammalian, the COG complex has been implicated in the tethering of retrograde intra-Golgi vesicles. Although homologs of COG subunits have been identified in Arabidopsis, the functions of the complex and its subunits remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we have utilized genetic and cytologic approaches to characterize the role of the COG6 subunit. We showed that a mutation inCOG6caused male transmission defect due to aberrant pollen tube growth. At the subcellular level, Golgi bodies exhibited altered morphology incog6pollen and cell wall components were incorrectly deposited in pollen tubes. COG6 fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP), which complemented the aberrant growth ofcog6pollen tubes, was localized to the Golgi apparatus. We propose that COG6, as a subunit of the COG complex, modulates Golgi morphology and vesicle trafficking homeostasis during pollen tube growth.
