The phytohormone auxin is a major regulator of plant growth and development. Many
aspects of these processes depend on the multiple controls exerted by auxin on cell division …

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 …

The reliable and efficient production of microalgae in large-scale commercial culture,
whether in open ponds or in closed photobioreactors, requires a good understanding of the …

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 …

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 …

Salt stress inhibits plant growth and development. We investigated the importance of cell
cycle regulation in mediating the primary root growth response of Arabidopsis to salt stress …

The role of gibberellins (GAs) in regulation of lateral root development is poorly understood.
We show that GA-deficient (35S: PcGA2ox1) and GA-insensitive (35S: rgl1) transgenic …

Synchronized suspension cultures are powerful tools in plant cell‐cycle studies. However,
few Arabidopsis cell cultures are available, and synchrony extending over several …

Mean cell size at division is generally constant for specific conditions and cell types, but the
mechanisms coupling cell growth and cell cycle control with cell size regulation are poorly …

Background Apple fruit develop over a period of 150 days from anthesis to fully ripe. An
array representing approximately 13000 genes (15726 oligonucleotides of 45–55 bases) …
