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 …

Dormancy regulation in vegetative buds is a complex process necessary for plant survival,
development and architecture. Our understanding of and ability to manipulate these …

Cyclin-dependent kinases and cyclins regulate with the help of different interacting proteins
the progression through the eukaryotic cell cycle. A high-quality, homology-based …

The grass seed or caryopsis originates from a monocarpellary ovary with a single ovule and
contains the main storage tissue, the endosperm. For most grass crop species (ie cereals) …

Endoreplication, also called endoreduplication, is a cell cycle variant of multicellular
eukaryotes in which mitosis is skipped and cells repeatedly replicate their DNA, resulting in …

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 …

To study the mechanisms behind auxin-induced cell division, lateral root initiation was used
as a model system. By means of microarray analysis, genome-wide transcriptional changes …

During early seed development, nuclear divisions in the endosperm are not followed by cell
division, leading to the development of a syncytium. The simple organization of the …

Upon the incidence of DNA stress, the ataxia telangiectasia–mutated (ATM) and Rad3-
related (ATR) signaling kinases activate a transient cell cycle arrest that allows cells to repair …

Plant organs develop mostly post‐embryonically from persistent or newly formed meristems.
After cell division arrest, differentiation frequently involves endoreduplication and cell …
