Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of plant meiosis is rapidly increasing thanks to the model Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we present the results of a screening for meiotic mutants carried out with a library containing 30,719 T-DNA insertion lines. An average of one mutant per 1000 lines was recovered. Several phenotypic classes could be distinguished and are presented. In parallel, 39 proteins known to be involved in meiosis in...
