Identification and characterization molecular targets of novel small molecules involved in controlling plant cell division orientation. Ghent University
Plants have a specific need for strict regulation of cell division orientation, as plant cells are unable to move due to the presence of a rigid cell wall. Plant cell divisions can be perpendicular or parallel to the growth axis of the tissue, contributing to longitudinal and radial growth respectively. Despite the clear importance of oriented cell divisions to generate a correct three-dimensional body plan in plants, it is currently unknown ...
