During the development of multicellular organisms, many different cell types are created.
These display characteristic cell cycle programs that can radically change during the …

The molecular mechanisms by which the phytohormone auxin coordinates cell division with
cell growth and differentiation are largely unknown. Here, we show that in Arabidopsis …

Eukaryotic cell cycles are driven by a set of regulators that have undergone lineage-specific
gene loss, duplication, or divergence in different taxa. It is not known to what extent these …

The mitotic inducer gene from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Spcdc25, was used as a tool
to investigate regulation of G2/M in higher plants using the BY‐2 (Nicotiana tabacum) cell …

Transgenic tobacco lines expressing Arath-CYCD2 or Arath-CYCD3 genes under a
cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter are modified in the timing of their development, but …

A long maintained suspension culture of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, compared with a newer
culture, had increased levels of cyclin dependent kinase A (CDKA; 1) a halved cell doubling …

Maize endosperm development is characterized by three distinct types of cell cycles: i)
acytokinetic mitosis during the coenocyte stage; ii) mitosis followed by cytokinesis during the …

During maize endosperm development, cells switch from mitotic into endoreduplication cell
cycles, concomitant with the differentiation of starchy endosperm cells. The identity and role …

Regulation of basic cellular functions is conserved among plants and animals reflecting the
common evolutionary origins of the two kingdoms. However, during the long independent …
