Abstract excerpt
MSH5, a meiosis-specific member of the MutS-homologue family of genes, is required for normal levels of recombination in budding yeast, mouse and Caenorhabditis elegans. In this paper we report the identification and characterization of the Arabidopsis homologue of MSH5 (AtMSH5). Transcripts of AtMSH5 are specific to reproductive tissues, and immunofluorescence studies indicate that expression of the protein is...
