Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In order to determine the pattern of cell age distribution in proliferating cells of Allium cepa roots we have measured by cytophotometry two cell size parameters, protein content and surface area projection, in cells that correspond to the entire proliferating population or only to the ana-telophase subpopulation. The size values of ana-telophase cells have been employed to construct theoretical size distributions for the entire proliferating cell population of the root meristem by assuming either a uniform or an exponential cell age distribution. Statistical comparison of theoretical distributions with the experimental one rules out a uniform cell age distribution and strongly favours an exponential age distribution similar to that found in bacteria.
