First published in 1985, information is presented and summarised in this account of how plant cells divide. The chapters give information on control points in the cell cycle, on DNA replication and on ...

However, image analysis revealed abnormal cell division in at2-mmp mutants. Conversely, when At2-MMP was overexpressed, ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

The basic structure of most animal and plants cells is shown below. All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. The authors ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...

or are irradiated in X-ray machines. Whole plants or seedlings can also be irradiated, either in a gamma greenhouse or a gamma field. This process is called chronic irradiation. If the resulting ...

Plants are made up of very rigid ... microtubules—dynamic protein structures in the cell that help separate the genetic material during division—react to mechanical changes.

Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Mitosis is a type of cell division which ensures that, when a cell divides, each new cell produced has the same genetic information. Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be ...
