Abstract excerpt
Faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis is crucial for eukaryotic organisms. Centromere-associated protein-E (CENP-E), a kinetochore-localized kinesin motor, facilitates chromosome congression during mitosis in animals. However, it remains unclear whether plants rely on kinesins similar to CENP-E for chromosome alignment. In our genetic screens for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants that are...
