Abstract
The aim of this project is to investigate the molecular organisation and chronology of recombination nodule morphogenesis in Arabidopsis and Brassica, and to develop an assay for recombination based on immunolocalisation of M1h1 protein along pachytene bivalents. An immunological approach will be used to confirm the co-localisation of M1h1 protein with the late RNs, and antibodies to this and other proteins implicated in recombination will be used to investigate RN morphogenesis in more detail. Confirmation of M1h1 localisation in late RNs should permit the development of a genome-wide assay for recombination in Cruciferous plants and in other plant genera.
