The Hormonal Regulation of the Cell Division Cycle

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

This report deals with the central question of whether plant growth regulators or hormones control the cell division cycle at the molecular level via major changes in the metabolism of nucleic acids or proteins of plant tissues or whether a more subtle effect of a specific hormone triggers one or several discrete steps of cell division, leading in turn to mass changes of the physiologic status of the tissues.

Concepts and plausible models of the division cycle will first be discussed to clarify the possible experimental approaches to the previous question. These models are essentially distinguished by the central postulates: (1) the mitotic events are a linear sequence of events arranged by their direct causal connection, or (2) several lines of independent causal sequences contribute to the structure and functions of the mitotic apparatus.

The effects of auxin on cell division, studied with simplified biological systems, suggest that auxin may have an indirect impact on the cell cycle. Directly or indirectly, auxin specifically affects the S phase of DNA synthesis.

In various model biological systems and especially in suspended plant cell cultures, cytokinins do not affect the S phase. The machinery of protein synthesis seems to be functionally independent of the cytokinin effect. The biosynthesis of specific proteins involved in the functions of the mitotic apparatus may be triggered by the cytokinins with the consequence that in the absence of the hormone, cells are belated or blocked at the metaphase step.
