Ectopic B-type cyclin expression induces mitotic cycles in endoreduplicating Arabidopsis trichomes.
Schnittger A, Schobinger U, Stierhof YD, Hulskamp M. Curr Biol. 2002 Mar 5;12(5):415-20.

...... negatively regulated. It is unknown how the mitotic factors are repressed and what the functional significance of their suppression is. To test the function of two mitotic cyclins in an endoreduplication cycle, we expressed CYCLIN B1;1 and CYCLIN B1;2 in unicellular Arabidopsis trichomes. During wild-type development, trichomes undergo an average of four endoreduplication cycles, leading to a DNA content of approximately 32C. We find that ectopic expression of CYCLIN B1;2, not CYCLIN ......


...... B1;2-triggered cell divisions appeared normal with respect to both nuclear division and cytokinesis. We show that CYCLIN B1;2 is misexpressed in the siamese mutant, which also produces multicellular trichomes. Additional overexpression of CYCLIN B1;2 in a siamese mutant background caused a strongly enhanced phenotype. ......
