"Typical plant cells do not have centrosomes or anything analogous to them in size, function or organization, but have a number of noncentrosomal MTOCs that lack centrioles."
I was always taught that plants had centrosomes but no centrioles. Do they really lack centrosomes as well?--Thezookeeper 03:50, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree with Thezookeeper - inhwanie
add centrosome cycle to searching possibilities --193.225.127.130 13:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] plants and centrosomes
Since by definition the centrosome is made of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM) plants, who lack centrioles,do not have centrosomes. The centrosome is often refered to as an microtubule organising centre (MTOC). The label MTOC, however, is not restricted to describing the centrosome, but also includes the yeast spindle pole body (SPB) and any other structure which plays a role in microtubule organisation, including the MTOCs of plant cells. Therefore most plant cells DO NOT have centrosomes, but DO have MTOCs.
- yeast is not a plant
i dont think she was saying it is
