Dutch title: De rol van celgrootte bij de inductie van sexuele reproductie bij diatomeeën: identificatie van differentieel gereguleerde genen adhv cDNA-AFLP Period: January 2003 till January 2007 Status: Completed
Thesaurus terms Cdna; Cell cycle; Diatoms; Life cycle
Taxonomic term:Phaeodactylum K. von Bohlin, 1897 [WoRMS]
The aims of this project are (1) to characterize the cell- and life cycle of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and (2) to characterise the cell size dependent molecular mechanisms that are involved in the induction of sexual reproduction in diatoms. The transcription patterns above and below the critical size treshold for sexual reproduction will be analysed using cDNA-AFLP.
