Abstract
REPORTS on the growth and division of plant cells in culture media have had various objectives: to establish the totipotency of the diploid cell1–4; to grow the whole plant from an isolated single cell, in a defined medium without neighbouring cells or tissue, a goal very recently achieved5,6; to use a defined medium, as distinct from a conditioned medium, that is a medium on which cells have previously been grown5–7; to explore the nature and mechanism of factors inherent in coconut milk1,8,9 or pea10 which promote cell division.
