Abstract excerpt
CDC5, a Myb-related protein, is reported to be essential for the G(2) phase of cell cycle in yeast and animals, but little is known about its function in plants. In this study, Arabidopsis thaliana CDC5 (AtCDC5) is found to be nuclear localized, and the C-terminus of this protein is of transcriptional activation activity in yeast. By taking advantage of the virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) technique, we...
