Prefoldin is a cochaperone, present in all eukaryotes, that cooperates with the chaperonin
CCT. It is known mainly for its functional relevance in the cytoplasmic folding of actin and …

The correct folding is a key process for a protein to acquire its functional structure and
conformation. Prefoldin is a well-known chaperone protein that regulates the correct folding …

Cell-to-cell communication in plants includes the selective trafficking of transcription factors
and other signals through plasmodesmata. The KNOTTED1 (KN1) homeobox (KNOX) family …

Epigenetic mechanisms have been found to play important roles in environmental stress
response and regulation. These can, theoretically, be transmitted to future unexposed …

Plant morphogenesis relies on specific patterns of cell division and expansion. It is well
established that cortical microtubules influence the direction of cell expansion [1, 2], but less …

Microtubules (MTs) are highly conserved polar polymers that are key elements of the
eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are essential for various cell functions. αβ-tubulin, a …

It is generally believed that cell elongation is regulated by cortical microtubules, which guide
the movement of cellulose synthase complexes as they secrete cellulose microfibrils into the …

During the last years, our understanding of the mechanisms that control plant response to
salt stress has been steadily progressing. Pharmacological studies have allowed the …

Plant growth requires a tight coordination of cell shape and anisotropic expansion. Owing to
their immobility, plant cells determine body architecture through the orientation of cell …

KATANIN is a well-studied microtubule severing protein affecting microtubule organization
and dynamic properties in higher plants. By regulating mitotic and cytokinetic and cortical …
