Circadian Regulation of Cell Division

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cell Division Control in Plants

Part of the book series: Plant Cell Monographs ((CELLMONO,volume 9))

Abstract

Plants are photosynthetic organisms, which use light, as main source of energy, for growth and development.Because sun-light is also mutagenic, many organisms, from most kingdoms, have evolved an internal time-trackingsystem, so-called the circadian, which restricts cell division to specific times of the day in when DNAis less exposed to UV damage (“escape from mutagenic light” theory). While the circadian regulationof cell division has been extensively characterized in animals and unicellular green algae, little is knownabout the photoperiodic regulation of cell division in land plants. Recent findings about the possiblelinks between cell division, the circadian clock and the DNA damage checkpoint are discussed.
