Article Synopsis
  • - The SCI1 gene in Nicotiana tabacum plays a crucial role in plant reproductive organ size by regulating cell proliferation and interacting with proteins involved in the cell cycle.
  • - Researchers identified the interaction between SCI1, a cyclin-dependent kinase (NtCDKG;2), and a newly discovered RNA helicase (NtRH35) through various experimental methods, revealing their association in subcellular structures like splicing speckles.
  • - This study highlights SCI1 and its interactors as novel components of the spliceosome, suggesting that SCI1 may influence cell proliferation via splicing processes, which enhances our understanding of plant developmental pathways.

The specified floral meristem will develop a pre-established number of floral organs and, thus, terminate the floral meristematic cells. The floral meristematic pool of cells is controlled, among some others, by WUSCHEL (WUS) and AGAMOUS (AG) transcription factors (TFs). Here, we demonstrate that the () gene, a cell proliferation regulator, starts to be expressed since the floral meristem specification of and is expressed in all floral meristematic cells.
