Compared to animal cells, plant cells are enclosed by a rigid box -- the cell wall. Cell division involves the ... and 48-hours up until its mature stage, and how this affects local cell shapes ...

Analysis of this process in plant roots reveals how this mechanism is regulated. Ikram Blilou is in the Division of ... absence of SHR from a cell during a specific stage of the cell cycle affects ...

Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the division of the rest of the cell.) ...

In plant cells, the division plane is predicted before mitosis ... the phragmoplast and the division site at both early and late stages of cytokinesis. For instance, treatment of Tradescantia ...

shows the transcription factor family MYB3R prevents progression to the division stage (M phase) of the cell cycle in Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant that is a member of the mustard family.

Along with copying and splitting DNA during division, cells must have a way to break safely into two viable daughter cells, a process called cytokinesis. But the molecular basis of how plant cells ...

Moreover, we found that these plant proteins are concentrated at plasmodesmata." The team's research revealed that plasmodesmata bridges form through an incomplete process of cell division.
