Abnormal cytoskeletal and chromosome distribution in po, ms4 and ms6; mutant alleles of polymitotic that disrupt the cell cycle progression from meiosis to mitosis in maize.

Abstract excerpt

The maize cell cycle regulation mutant polymitotic (po) progresses through abnormal cell cycles, characterized by premature cell divisions without chromosome duplication of the daughter cells produced by meiosis during microsporogenesis and macrosporogenesis. There are three recessive alleles of the Po gene; po, ms4, and ms6. A new method of permeabilizing cells based on freeze-fracture technology was used to...
