The authors describe a number of cell types that undergo asymmetric divisions in seed plants and emphasize genetic and molecular evidence for the role of specific genes. Our knowledge of the mechanisms involved in these plant systems, and their role in cellular differentiation, is presented following a brief but concise review of similar studies in yeast, nematodes and insects.

27. •] contribute important new information about the nature of the default pathway of polar axis formation and on the nature of the first cytological asymmetry, a cortical actin patch. This patch identifies the site of sperm entry within minutes of fertilization and, in the absence of realigning vectors, is the location for rhizoid outgrowth hours later. In unilateral light, the actin patch is relocated to a cortical site on the shaded side of the light gradient, but is still the target site for vesicle secretion that supports rhizoid outgrowth.

Science. 286:1999;316-318. An excellent paper describing a GTP exchange activity for the GNOM protein that is inhibited by brefeldin A. Using a specific antibody to the auxin efflux carrier protein (PIN1), which is normally localized to the basal end of the cell, the authors show a random distribution of PIN1 in the gnom mutant cells and wild-type cells treated with brefeldin A. These findings provide the most direct evidence to date of the role of secretion in maintaining a cellular polarity.
