While a large number of cyclins have been described in animals and yeasts, very limited information is available regarding cyclins in plants. We describe here the isolation of cDNA clones encoding four putative mitotic cyclins from maize. All four cyclins were able to induce maturation of Xenopus oocytes, demonstrating that they can act as mitotic cyclins in this system. Northern analysis showed that all four cyclins were expressed only in actively dividing tissues and organs, with a stronger co ...[more]
