Abstract

Over the past two decades, a large number of cell cycle regulators have been identified in plants. While the basic key factors are well conserved among eukaryotes, plants have also evolved unique features in the cell-cycle control system, which permit continuous organ formation during post-embryonic development. Here we review how cell cycle regulators are involved in precise control of the cell division cycle, thereby contribute to sustained plant growth under various environmental conditions.
