It has been estimated that there are, globally, as many as 400,000 species of the angiosperms (the flowering plants). Of these, a minimal proportion has been characterized at the cytological level. Urgency is required in initiating a systematic and comprehensive census, due to species extinction as

Proliferative and endoreduplicative cell cycles are used to variable extents during the ontogeny of individual organisms and in different evolutionary lineages. Chordate growth and development is typically dominated by proliferative cycles, but the urochordate, Oikopleura dioica, has systemically el

Genome integrity is continuously threatened by external stresses and endogenous hazards such as DNA replication errors and reactive oxygen species. The DNA damage checkpoint in metazoans ensures genome integrity by delaying cell-cycle progression to repair damaged DNA or by inducing apoptosis. ATM a
