Plant Development: Suppression the Key to Asymmetric Cell Fate

نویسنده

  • Stuart A. Casson
چکیده

A new study shows that SPEECHLESS determines cell fate in the stomatal lineage but is inherited equally by daughter cells following an asymmetric cell division. The polarity determinant BASL acts as a MAPK scaffold, targeting SPEECHLESS for degradation in the larger daughter cell.

Stomatal development and patterning are regulated by environmentally responsive mitogen-activated protein kinases in Arabidopsis.

Stomata are specialized epidermal structures that regulate gas (CO(2) and O(2)) and water vapor exchange between plants and their environment. In Arabidopsis thaliana, stomatal development is preceded by asymmetric cell divisions, and stomatal distribution follows the one-cell spacing rule, reflecting the coordination of cell fate specification. Stomatal development and patterning are regulated...

Asymmetric cell division in plant development.

Plant embryogenesis creates a seedling with a basic body plan. Post-embryonically the seedling elaborates with a lifelong ability to develop new tissues and organs. As a result asymmetric cell divisions serve essential roles during embryonic and postembryonic development to generate cell diversity. This review highlights selective cases of asymmetric division in the model plant Arabidopsis thal...

Roles for polarity and nuclear determinants in specifying daughter cell fates after an asymmetric cell division in the maize leaf

Asymmetric cell divisions occur repeatedly during plant development, but the mechanisms by which daughter cells are directed to adopt different fates are not well understood [1,2]. Previous studies have demonstrated roles for positional information in specification of daughter cell fates following asymmetric divisions in the embryo [3] and root [4]. Unequally inherited cytoplasmic determinants ...

Diversifying Neural Cells through Order of Birth and Asymmetry of Division

A key question in developmental neurobiology is how the diversity of cell types that make up the mature nervous system are generated from a common set of progenitor cells. Drosophila genes governing temporal cell fate determination and asymmetric cell divisions involving numb may represent evolutionarily conserved mechanisms for regulating cell fate diversification in the developing nervous sys...
