Root apex of higher plants shows very high sensitivity to environmental stimuli. The root cap
acts as the most prominent plant sensory organ; sensing diverse physical parameters such …

Although plants are generally immobile and lack the most obvious brain activities of animals
and humans, they are not only able to show all the attributes of intelligent behaviour but they …

This review attempts to present an integrated update of the issue of comparisons of
phenotypic plasticity between plants and animals by presenting the problem and its …

Expansins are plant cell wall-loosening proteins that promote cell growth and are essential
for many critical developmental processes and stress responses. The molecular basis for …

The probable involvement of phospholipase D (PLD)/phosphatidic acid (PA) signalling in
the hyperosmotic stress response of Triticum turgidum root cells was investigated by …

Plant protoplasts are embedded within surrounding cell walls and the cell wall–plasma
membrane–cytoskeleton (WMC) structural continuum seems to be crucial for the proper …

Plant endocytosis emerges as an active field of contemporary plant sciences. In this chapter,
control of plant endocytosis via physical forces is discussed from the perspective of structural …

Gmelina arborea es una especie forestal de importancia comercial para países tropicales
debido a características de rápido crecimiento y alta calidad de su madera en diversos usos …

In this chapter, we are providing a brief overview of the tensegral concept as applied to
plants. Starting with a short introduction to the history of the idea of mechanical integration of …

In the root apex transition zone, large portion of the polar auxin transport (PAT) is
accomplished via endocytic vesicular recycling at F-actin and myosin VIII-enriched cell–cell …
