Although little is known about how asymmetric cell division in plants is regulated, recent discoveries provide a starting point for exploring the mechanisms underlying this process. These studies reveal parallels with asymmetric division in yeast and animals, but also point to regulated cell expansion as a new mechanism of asymmetric division in plants.
尽管人们对植物中不对称细胞分裂的调控方式知之甚少,但最近的发现为探索这一过程背后的机制提供了一个起点。这些研究揭示了与酵母和动物中不对称分裂的相似之处,但也指出细胞的定向扩张是植物中不对称分裂的一种新机制。
