The male germline of flowering plants develops within the vegetative cell of the male gametophyte and displays a distinct transcriptional profile. Key to understanding the development of this unique cell lineage is determining how gene expression is regulated within germline cells. This knowledge impacts upon our understanding of cell specification, differentiation, and plant fertility. Here, we describe methods to identifycis-regulatory modules (CRMs) that act as key regulatory regions in the promoters of germline-expressed genes. We detail the complimentary techniques of phylogenetic footprinting and the use of fluorescent reporters in pollen for the identification and verification of CRMs.
