Abstract
Cyclin D (CycD) genes play key roles in integrating plant cell division with environmental signals and development. The complete genome sequence shows there are ten CycD genes in Arabidopsis. Mutants are of key importance in analysing developmental, cellular and biochemical aspects of cell cycle processes in many organisms, yet almost no classical or engineered loss of function mutants in cell cycle genes are known in plants. This project proposes to identify insertion mutants in all CycD genes. The developmental roles of single and multiple mutant combinations will be defined, and strategies presented to analyse the later functions of genes with essential early roles. This work represents the first such study of a class of plant cell cycle genes.
