Control of the DNA stress cell checkpoint in plants / DNA stress control in Arabidopsis thaliana Ghent University
Recently, the WEE1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana was identified as a crucial cell cycle regulator. Upon DNA stress, induced WEE1 expression results into a cell cycle arrest, by which damaged DNA can be repaired. We wish to identify the signal transduction pathway inducing WEE1. Secondarily, we aim to identify other genes that contribute to the activation of the DNA stress checkpoint, and to combine all biological data into a mathematical ...
