Abstract

The overall aim of the work described here is to improve our understanding of the genetic mechanisms that regulate the patterning of the embryonic and seedling apical-basal axis in Arabidopsis. This will be achieved through the identification of components that interact with the POLARIS gene and its product, a gene that defines the position of the basal region of Arabidopsis embryos and seedling root tip. Specific objectives are: 1) to identify cDNAs encoding proteins interacting with the POLARIS polypeptide (0-9 months); 2) to carry out a functional analysis of these cloned cDNAs (9-20 months); and 3) to investigate the hormonal and genetic regulation of their expression (20-36 months).
