Molecular controls of the plant cell cycle must integrate environmental signals within developmental contexts. Recent advances highlight the fundamental conservation of underlying cell cycle mechanisms between animals and plants, overlaid by a rich molecular and regulatory diversity that is specific to plant systems. Here we review plant cell cycle regulators and their control.
The identity of a new gibberellin (GA) in spinach and oil palm sap has been confirmed as 2 beta-hydroxy-GA12 (GA110) by comparisons of GC-mass spectral data obtained for the trimethylsilyl ether methyl ester derivatives with those of a synthetic sample prepared by means of a 24 step sequence from gibberellic acid; 2 beta-hydroxy-GA24 was also prepared. Experimental details for the latter part of the syntheses are described.
