Replication and intercellular spread of viruses depend on host mechanisms supporting the
formation, transport and turnover of functional complexes between viral genomes, virus …

The plant cell wall is an extracellular matrix that envelopes cells, gives them structure and
shape, constitutes the interface with symbionts, and defends plants against external biotic …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Plants actively perceive and respond to perturbations in their cell walls which arise during
growth, biotic and abiotic stresses. However, few components involved in plant cell wall …

Plant growth is coordinated with environmental factors, including water availability during
times of drought. Microtubules influence cell expansion; however, the mechanisms by which …

Many plants show some form of helical growth, such as the circular searching movements of
growing stems and other organs (circumnutation), tendril coiling, leaf and bud reversal …

Microtubules (MTs) and actin filaments (F-actin) function cooperatively to regulate plant cell
morphogenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the crosstalk between these two …

The role of YODA MITOGEN ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE KINASE KINASE 4 (MAPKKK4)
upstream of MITOGEN ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE 6 (MPK6) was studied during post …

The sessile nature of plants demands the development of seed-dispersal mechanisms to
establish new growing loci. Dispersal strategies of many species involve drying of the …

A theory for the dynamics and statics of growing elastic rods is presented. First, a single
growing rod is considered and the formalism of three-dimensional multiplicative …
