Abstract

The aim of this project is to analyse homologues chromosome recognition, alignment and synapsis during the premeiotic interphase and early prophase I of meiosis in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with COSMID and YAC probes will be used to detect the intranuclear disposition of homologous and heterologous chromosome regions both in wild-type material and a range of meiotic mutants. Determining a consistent chronology for pollen mother cell development over this interval will be an integral part of the project.
