Trichomes and root hairs differentiate from epidermal cells in the aerial tissues and roots,
respectively. Because trichomes and root hairs are easily accessible, particularly in the …

Cell migration is an essential feature of eukaryotic life, required for processes ranging from
feeding and phagoctyosis to development, healing, and immunity. Migration requires the …

The actin cytoskeleton plays an essential role in numerous aspects of cell biology, such as
cell morphology and motility. Actin's role in these processes is tightly regulated, in particular …

Autophagy is a major and conserved pathway for delivering unwanted proteins or damaged
organelles to the vacuole for degradation and recycling. In plants, it functions as a …

Small GTP-binding proteins represent a highly conserved signaling module in eukaryotes
that regulates diverse cellular processes such as signal transduction, cytoskeletal …

Flowering is an important agronomic trait that often depends on the integration of
photoperiod, vernalization, gibberellin and/or autonomous signaling pathways by regulatory …

Rho of plants (ROP) proteins, also known as RAC proteins, are Rho-related GTPases that
function as molecular switches in a multitude of signaling cascades involved in the …

During morphogenesis, the actin cytoskeleton mediates cell-shape change in response to
growth signals. In plants, actin filaments organize the cytoplasm in regions of polarized …

Abstract The ARP2/3 complex, a highly conserved nucleator of F-actin, and its activator, the
SCAR complex, are essential for growth in plants and animals. In this article, we present a …
