Figure 1. Yeast models for cell size control.

Figure 1

S. pombe and S. cerevisiae are the preeminent model organisms for cell size control studies. Interestingly, S. cerevisiae and A. gossypii are more closely related than either is to S. pombe. Despite their divergent morphologies, these two yeasts are regulated by similar cell cycle control networks governing the DNA to cytoplasm ratio.
