Abstract
Yeasts provide an excellent model system for the study of the basic mechanisms of eukaryotic cell cycle control. Since they are simple eukaryotes, cell cycle regulation is less likely to be confused with the additional controls involved in growth and differentiation which operate in muticellular organisms.
