Research Abstract

The Grant-in-Aid for Cooperative Research "Studies of the cell cycle in plant cells (April 1985 - March 1988) conducted a cooperative research on the mechanisms of and the regulation for cell division cycles in fungal, algal, and plant cells. Twelve researchers cooperated this project under mutual exchanges in idea and techniques, and brought about many remarkable results. The major contributions are as follows:
1) Y. Anraku and I. Uno demonstrated essential roles of Ca^<2+> and cAMP, respectively, in control of the yeast cell division cycle. Several new genes committing specific arrests of the cell division were discovered, cloned and sequence. 2) N. yanagishima and Y. Oshumi performed detailed studies on hormonal regulation and signal transduction during the initial stage of mating in fungal cells. 3) M. Yanagida and K. Tanaka conducted molecular biological and morphological studies, respectively, of nuclear condensation and nuclear division in yeast cells and elucidated a time-dependent progression and regulatory mechanism in mitosis. 4) T. Ishikawa and C. Shimoda genetically analysed the control mechanism of meiosis and described several new phenotypes associated with specific arrests or mutations. 5) By elegant fluorescent microscopical methods, T. Kuroiwa and T. Osafune examined the mechanisms of chloroplast and plastid division and the processes of organelle distribution during the cell cycle, respectively. Their contributions were highly acknowledged by most cell biologists. 6) K. Syono and M. Wada developed new experimental systems for analyzing the progression of plant cell cycles and their regulations by hormones and light, respectively. The established methods are expeceted to be of wide value for future studies.
