title: On the relationship between the plant cell and the plant.
abstract: The mechanism by which higher plant cells divide is quite different from the animal system, and has implications for the way in which the processes of pattern formation, morphogenesis and cell differentiation are executed. The relationship between cell shape, cell division and differentiation and development will be considered from an evolutionary perspective, and the ways in which new molecular markers can inform our interpretation of these relationships will be considered.
