Abstract
Identification and characterisation of loss-of-function alleles of cell cycle genes has been crucial to determine their function in an organism's life cycle. Mitotic cyclins comprise a large gene family in Arabidopsis. Mitotic cyclins are expected to regulate DNA synthesis and mitosis, processes that play key roles in underpinning meristem activity, but also developmentally regulated processes such as endoreplication in post-mitotic cells. Based on the information provided with the completed Arabidopsis genome sequence, we propose a systematic genetic analysis of plant mitotic cyclins to identify the processes for which they are required.
