During lateral root (LR) development a coordinate sequence of cell divisions, accompanied by a change of the organ form takes place. Both the order of anatomical events and morphological features may vary for individual primordia. At early stages of LR primordia development oblique division walls are inserted in cells that are symmetrically located on both sides of the axis of the developing LR primordium, and thereby allow for the protrusion of the LR. We hypothesize that both oblique cell wall insertion and continuous changes in primordium form could be a consequence of a local change in stress distribution in the region of the LR initiation.

Interspecific fish reproductive patterns, outputs and life cycles display the greatest variability within the vertebrates. Early stages of oogenesis can be repeated in adult fish, contrasting with mammals; the pre-set sequence of cell divisions in gametogenesis is otherwise similar and is described in detail. Most fish deposit much yolk (vitellogenesis) in developing eggs. Migrations, beach-spawning and mouth-brooding are some of the interesting variations. Fertilization is predominantly external but is internal in some groups such as chondrichthyans. The omission of annual reproduction is well established in some freshwater species and the idea that this may also be the case for marine teleosts is gaining acceptance. This should be taken into account for intensively fished species. The possible roles of external cues, hormones, pheromones and neural factors acting as ‘switches’ and coordinators in gametogenesis and reproductive behaviour are discussed.

SummaryCentromere-associated protein-E (CENP-E) is a kinesin motor localizing at kinetochores. Although its mitotic functions have been well studied, it has been challenging to investigate direct consequences of CENP-E removal using conventional methods because CENP-E depletion results in mitotic arrest. In this study, we harnessed an auxin-inducible degron system to achieve acute degradation of CENP-E. We revealed a kinetochore-independent role for CENP-E that removes pericentriolar material 1 (PCM1) from centrosomes in G2 phase. After acute loss of CENP-E, centrosomal Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is sequestered by accumulated PCM1, resulting in aberrant phosphorylation and destabilization of centrosomes, which triggers loss of astral microtubules and oblique cell divisions. Furthermore, we also observed centrosome and cell division defects in cells from a microcephaly patient with mutations in CENPE. Orientation of cell division is deregulated in some microcephalic patients, and our unanticipated findings provide a unifying principle that explains how microcephaly can result from centrosomal defects.

In vitrogas production techniques have been used to nutritionally characterise feedstuffs for ruminants. Consideration of both the soluble and insoluble fractions has recently been shown to be essential for adequate description of cell wall disappearance (Jessop and Herrero, 1996). This study investigates how gas production measurements can be used to predict neutral detergent fibre (NDF) disappearance by correcting for the gas volume produced in the early stages of fermentation from neutral detergent solubles (NDS). The study was carried out using three tropical grasses.
