The boundary of the meristematic and elongation zones in roots: endoreduplication precedes rapid cell expansion

Plant roots consist of a meristematic zone of mitotic cells and an elongation zone of rapidly expanding cells, in which DNA replication often occurs without cell division, a process known as endoreduplication. The duration of the cell cycle and DNA replication, as measured by 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxy-urid...
