Abstract 

We have identified a plant homologue of the Drosophila meiotic gene Pelota in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPelota1). This gene maps to chromosome 4 of Ara- bidopsis and is one of two Pelota homologues present in this plant. When the expression pattern of AtPelota1 was examined it was found to be expressed at similar levels in all plant tissues tested (whole plant, bud, stem, leaf and root). This expression pattern corresponds to that seen for some other Arabidopsis meiotic genes and their homologues. A search of the databases reveal that the AtPelota gene family is widespread with homologues present in higher and lower eukaryotes and archaebacteria, but not eubacteria.
