Sequence analysis of a 40-kb Arabidopsis thaliana genomic region located at the top of chromosome 1.

As a contribution to the European Scientists Sequencing Arabidopsis (BIOTECH ESSA) project, a contig of almost 40kb has been sequenced at the extreme top of chromosome 1, around the Arabidopsis thaliana gene coding for a member of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthesis gene family. The region contains, besides the ACS1 gene itself, 10 putative genes, all new for Arabidopsis. Among these are three genes encoding kinases, a late embryogenesis-abundant protein, a MADS box-containing protein, a dehydrogenase, and a Myb-related transcription factor. In addition, six cDNAs have been sequenced that correspond to this region.
