Reihe: Annual Plant Reviews

The cell cycle in plants consists of an ordered set of events,including DNA replication and mitosis, that culminates in celldivision. As cell division is a fundamental part of a plant'sexistence and the basis for tissue repair, development and growth,a full understanding of all aspects of this process is of pivotalimportance.
Cell Cycle Control and Plant Development commences with anintroductory chapter and is broadly divided into two parts. Part 1details the basic cell machinery, with chapters coveringcyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), cyclins, CDK inhibitors,proteolysis, CDK phosphorylation, and E2F/DP transcription factors.Part 2, which describes the cell cycle and plant development,covers cell cycle activation, cell cycle control during leafdevelopment, endoreduplication, the cell cycle and trichome, fruitand endosperm development, the hormonal control of cell divisionand environmental stress, and cell cycle exit.
The editor of this important book, Professor Dirk Inzé,well known and respected internationally, has brought together animpressive team of contributing authors, providing an excellent newvolume in Blackwell Publishing's Annual Plant Reviews Series.The book is an essential purchase for research teams working in theareas of plant sciences and molecular, cell and developmentalbiology. All libraries in universities and research establishmentswhere biological sciences are studied and taught should have copiesof this essential and timely volume.
