Plant growth: jogging the cell cycle with JAG

Curr Biol. 2012 Oct 9;22(19):R838-40. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2012.07.033.

Abstract

In yeast, cell growth and division are coordinated by size checkpoints in the cell cycle. Recent work suggests that a similar mechanism acts in plant meristems to limit cell-size variation.
