A model describing cell polyploidization in tissues of growing fruit as related to cessation of cell proliferation.

Abstract excerpt

Endoreduplication is a phenomenon, widespread among plants, which consists of an incomplete cell cycle without mitosis and leads to the increase of the nuclear DNA content. In this work, a model was developed describing cell proliferation and DNA endoreduplication over the whole fruit development, from the pre-anthesis period until maturation. In each mitotic cycle of duration tau, the proportion of cells...
