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 …

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 …

The vacuole/lysosome serves an important recycling function during starvation and
senescence in eukaryotes via a process called autophagy. Here bulk cytosolic constituents …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated
endonuclease 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been demonstrated to be a robust genome …

Arabidopsis has over 80 genes encoding conserved and plant‐specific core cell cycle
regulators, but in most cases neither their timing of expression in the cell cycle is known nor …

▪ Abstract The first plant protein kinase sequences were reported as recently as 1989, but by
mid-1998 there were more than 500, including 175 in Arabidopsis thaliana alone. Despite …

Floral organs, whose identity is determined by specific combinations of homeotic genes,
originate from a group of undifferentiated cells called the floral meristem. In Arabidopsis, the …

Most of the plant shoot originates from a small group of stem cells, which in Arabidopsis are
specified by WUSCHEL (WUS). It is unknown whether these cells have an intrinsic potential …

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