    Notes: Summary Normally quiescent cortical tissue of pea roots can be induced, by severing the adjacent vascular cylinder of the root, to undergo redifferentiation to form new files of tracheary and sieve elements which bridge the wound. The development of vascular transfer cells is also induced. Redifferentiation is normally accompanied by division of the original cortical cells. The planes of cell division, especially those preceding sieve element formation, are aligned very precisely in adjacent cells, to produce smooth files of cells. In roots wounded 3–4 mm from the apex, bands of microtubules in the periphery of the cells (pre-prophase bands) form at sites which correspond to the expected planes of cell division.

    Notes: Summary Interference with the normal progression of the cell cycle by the drugs caffeine and colchicine does not prevent parenchyma cells in the cortex of pea roots from being reprogrammed to become tracheary and sieve elements following severance of the vascular cylinder of the root. The pattern of secondary wall deposition of the newly differentiated tracheary elements is highly aberrant in the presence of colchicine but is of normal appearance in the caffeinetreated roots. In each case, the new sieve elements have sieve plates and lateral sieve areas with callose deposits. Induction and redifferentiation are achieved in the absence of cell division and microtubules in colchicine-treated roots. Bi- and multi-nucleate cells are produced by both drugs. Microtubules are still present in the caffeine-treated roots but cell plate formation is inhibited. The partitioning of the multinucleate cortical cells by the interdigitation of “free-growing” walls between the nuclei occurs in the presence of caffeine but not colchicine.
