Under appropriate in vivo or in vitro conditions, certain somatic plant cells have the
capability to initiate embryogenic development (somatic embryogenesis). Somatic …

Cell cycle regulation is of pivotal importance for plant growth and development. Although
plant cell division shares basic mechanisms with all eukaryotes, plants have evolved novel …

Cell division in plants is controlled by the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)
complexes. Although this basic mechanism is conserved with all other eukaryotes, plants …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that play an essential role in plant growth and
development. However, the contradictory results of previous studies make their role in cell …

In most plants, sucrose is the major transported carbon source. Carbon source availability in
the form of sucrose is likely to be a major determinant of cell division, and mechanisms must …

▪ Abstract The endosperm develops from the central cell of the megagametophyte after
introduction of the second male gamete into the diploid central cell. Of the three forms of …

CYCD3; 1 expression in Arabidopsis is associated with proliferating tissues such as
meristems and developing leaves but not with differentiated tissues. Constitutive …

New plant cells arise at the meristems, where they divide a few times before they leave the
cell‐cycle program and start to differentiate. Here we show that the E2Fa–DPa transcription …

Leaves are the primary organs for photosynthesis, and as such have a pivotal role for plant
growth and development. Leaf development is a multifactorial and dynamic process …

Target of rapamycin (TOR) is a protein kinase that coordinates eukaryotic metabolism. In
mammals, TOR specifically promotes translation of ribosomal protein (RP) mRNAs when …
