...-phase of the cell cycle, the histone variant H3.3-encoding genes contain introns and are expressed constitutively [Malik and Henikoff, 2003; March-Diaz and Reyes, 2009]. There are 15 HISTONE THREE RELATED (HTR) genes coding for H3.1 and H3.3 proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana of which 2 main classes...

... polymorphism) analyses, such as in Arabidopsis , where no significant changes were detected after autopolyploidisation [Ozkan et al., 2006]. The involvement of retrotransposons in autopolyploid genomic alterations has yet to be addressed, although activation of the En/Spm -like DNA transposon (Sunfish...

...L. Chelysheva; L. Grandont; N. Vrielynck; S. le Guin; R. Mercier; M. Grelon Plant meiosis studies have enjoyed a fantastic boom in recent years with the use of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model not only for molecular genetics and genomics but also for cytogenetics. In this article we describe a new...

... on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana . In Arabidopsis the telomeres are organised around the nucleolus in both the somatic and meiotic interphase. One of the outstanding questions in meiosis is how homologous chromosomes pair (align) and synapse during meiotic prophase. Recent attention has been paid...
