✦ Synopsis

Microspectrophotometry following Feulgen

staining and autoradiography following (aH)-thymidine labelling were used to study cell-cycle events during pollen development in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). During normal gametophytic pollen development in the anther and in vitro the generative nucleus passes through the S phase to the a 2 phase soon after microspore mitosis, while the vegetative nucleus remains arrested in G1 (= Go). During embryogenic induction by an in vitro starvation treatment of immature pollen ongoing DNA replication in the generative nucleus is completed and followed by DNA replication in the vegetative cell in a large fraction of the pollen grains. Addition of the DNA replication inhibitor hydroxyurea to the starvation medium postpones S phase entry until the pollen is transferred to a rich medium and does not affect embryo formation. These results demonstrate that one of the crucial events of embryogenic induction is the derepression of the G1 arrest in the cell cycle of the vegetative cell.

## Abstract Ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) is a member of the phosphatidylinositol‐3 kinase (PI3K) family, which has a role in the cellular response to DNA double‐strand breaks (DSBs). In the present study, we evaluated the role of ATM in cell‐cycle control in dopaminergic rat neurobla

In former studies it was found that the ERV1 gene is essential for cell viability and for the biogenesis of functional mitochondria. A temperature-sensitive nuclear mutant exhibits a severe reduction in all the mitochondrial transcripts. Elimination of the gene leads to growth arrest after a few cel

The anti-tumor drug Flavopiridol is a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks). As a consequence, Flavopiridol-treated cells arrest in both G1 and G2, but Flavopiridol has also been shown to be cytotoxic for some tumor cell lines. The underlying molecular events are, however, unclear. We
