Plant Cell Division

About this book

Provides an overview of a wide range of molecular, cellular and developmental aspects of the plant cell cycle. Includes: Plant cyclin-dependent protein kinases and the plant cyclins; Cell-cycle dependent gene expression in plants; Cell-cycle control in relation to developmental control; DNA replication and histone biochemistry; and structural aspects of mitosis and developmental cycle mutants.
