Abstract
This proposal addresses the coordination of cell cycle activity and polarisation in a multicellular alga. The proposed research will combine recent developments in cellular imaging and manipulation with the unique advantages of the Fucus system for studies of cell signalling, cell cycle and polarisation in order to: 1) map cellular calcium activity onto cell cycle events; 2) determine the consequences of disrupted and imposed calcium signals on cell cycle progression with a combination of imaging and molecular approaches; 3) determine the nature of the dependence of polarisation on cell cycle progression in relation to the development of polarised calcium signalling.
