Research Abstract |
In this study, functional and expression analyses of cell cycle regulators were performed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying meristem maintenance and cell cycle regulation. Among seven CDK inhibitors in Arabidopsis, members that potentially regulate cell division in shoot and root apical meristems were identified. In addition, candidates for mutants lacking factors that mediate cell division downstream of cytokinin were identified.
