DESCRIPTION:    Telomeres are higher order nucleoprotein complexes 
 that protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and play 
 essential roles in conferring genome stability and cell p
 roliferation capacity. Telomere tracts are synthesized an
 d maintained by telomerase, a highly regulated reverse tr
 anscriptase that continually replenishes telomeric DNA us
 ing its RNA subunit as a template. My laboratory develope
 d the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a model sys
 tem for studying the fundamental properties of telomeres 
 and telomerase in multicellular organisms.  This lecture
  will focus on the emergence of a novel regulatory pathwa
 y for Arabidopsis telomerase fueled by duplication and ne
 ofunctionalization of the telomerase RNA subunit.  \n
