Abstract
THE formulation of a general model of gene regulation in eukaryotic organisms would be facilitated were it known when the molecular events responsible for reprogramming of genetic information occur during the cell cycle. Evidence from various systems in which animal cells differentiate in vivo and in vitro suggests that certain characteristics of the fully differentiated state are not manifest until the cells undergo DNA synthesis and nuclear division1. Similarly the differentiation of wound vessel members (WVM) in plant parenchyma tissue is thought to occur only after cells have replicated at least once in inductive conditions2.
