Abstract

Biological scientists are eagerly confronting the challenge of understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control the cell division cycle in eukaryotes. New information will have major implications for the treatment of growth-related diseases and cancer in animals. In plants, cell division has a key role in root and shoot growth as well as in the development of vegetative storage organs and reproductive tissues such as flowers and seeds. Many of the strategies for crop improvement, especially those aimed at increasing yield, involve the manipulation of cell division. This review describes, in some detail, the current status of our understanding of the regulation of cell division in eukaryotes and especially in plants. It also features an outline of some preliminary attempts to exploit transgenesis for manipulation of plant cell division.
