The control co-ordinating cell division with cell growth has been investigated in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Twenty-five mutants altered in this control have been isolated which have the same growth rate as wild type but divide at a smaller cell size. The mutants define two genes wee 1 and wee 2, both of which are involved in a control initiating mitosis when the cell attains a critical size.
