  2. Cytokinesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinesis

    Plant cytokinesis differs from animal cytokinesis, partly because of the rigidity of plant cell walls. Instead of plant cells forming a cleavage furrow such as develops between animal daughter cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms in the cytoplasm and grows into a new, doubled cell wall between plant daughter cells. It ...

  3. Actomyosin ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actomyosin_ring

    Fig. 2. The actomyosin ring induces formation of the cleavage furrow (4th from top) to assist cell cleavage. In animals, the ring forms along the cleavage furrow on the inside of the plasma membrane then splits by abscission. [10] [11] In fungi, it forms at the mother-bud neck before mitosis. Septin is heavily involved in the formation of the ...

  4. Phragmoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmoplast

    The cell plate will transform into the new cell wall once cytokinesis is complete. The phragmoplast is a plant cell specific structure that forms during late cytokinesis . It serves as a scaffold for cell plate assembly and subsequent formation of a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.

  5. Cytokinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinin

    While cytokinin action in vascular plants is described as pleiotropic, this class of plant hormones specifically induces the transition from apical growth to growth via a three-faced apical cell in moss protonema. This bud induction can be pinpointed to differentiation of a specific single cell, and thus is a very specific effect of cytokinin. [18]

    APC activity also causes the destruction of S and M cyclins and thus the inactivation of Cdks, which promotes the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis. APC activity is maintained in G1 until G1/S–Cdk activity rises again and commits the cell to the next cycle. This scheme serves only as a general guide and does not apply to all cell types. [1]

  7. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  8. Cell plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_plate

    Cytokinesis in a plant cell is accomplished by the formation of a cell plate in the center of the a dynamin-like protein named Phragmoplastin [2] which was identified in soybean and demonstrated that this protein is associated with the formation of the cell plate during cytokinesis in plant cells. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy ...

  9. Motor protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_protein

    Plant cells differ from animal cells in that they have a cell wall. During mitosis, the new cell wall is built by the formation of a cell plate starting in the center of the cell. This process is facilitated by a phragmoplast, a microtubule array unique to plant cell mitosis. The building of cell plate and ultimately the new cell wall requires ...
