Abstract
Gentle wounding of one cotyledon of a seedling has a rapid, specific a nd asymmetric effect on the renewal of the cell cycle in the previousl y quiescent buds at the axil of the cotyledons. Our present experiment al system thus may provide a rather simple plant model for studying th e complex mechanisms involved in the initiation and termination of the cell cycle in higher plants, in connection with the expression of dev elopmental signals.
