Abstract excerpt
A majority of the cells in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl undergo endoreduplication. The number of endocycles in this organ is partially controlled by light. Up to two cycles occur in light-grown hypocotyls, whereas in the dark about 30% of the cells go through a third cycle. Is the inhibition of the third endocycle in the light an indirect result of the reduced cell size in the light-grown hypocotyl, or is it under...
