Abstract
Development of xylem, the water-conducting tissue in plants, involves several fundamental processes of plant growth and development, including cell division, cell expansion, formation of secondary cell walls and programmed cell death. The entire process can be studied in a model system, the Zinnia mesophyll cell system. This model system offers the opportunity of understanding the nature of cell commitment to a new fate, the signal transduction pathway and the downstream differentiation events that are required to produce a xylem cell.
