Cell division in Arabidopsis vascular tissue.

In plants, vascular tissue is responsible for providing water and nutrient transport and structural support, and it is derived from a group of dividing cells present in a structure called the procambium. In this issue, Etchells et al. used a reverse genetic approach to identify components that interact to control cell division in the procambium of Arabidopsis thaliana.
