Abstract excerpt
We have characterized a new gene, SWI1, involved in sister chromatid cohesion during both male and female meiosis in Arabidopsis thaliana. A first allele, swi1.1, was obtained as a T-DNA tagged mutant and was described previously as abnormal exclusively in female meiosis. We have isolated a new allele, swi1.2, which is defective for both male and female meiosis. In swi1.2 male meiosis, the classical steps of...
