The ADF/cofilins are a family of actin-binding proteins expressed in all eukaryotic cells so far
examined. Members of this family remodel the actin cytoskeleton, for example during …

The cytoskeleton coordinates all aspects of growth in plant cells, including exocytosis of
membrane and wall components during cell expansion. This review seeks to integrate …

Pollen tube elongation is a polarized cell growth process that transports the male gametes
from the stigma to the ovary for fertilization inside the ovules. Actomyosin-driven intracellular …

Based mostly on the results of in vitro experiments, ADF (actin-depolymerizing factor)
proteins are thought to be key modulators of the dynamic organization of the actin …

Powdery mildew fungal pathogens penetrate the plant cell wall and develop a feeding
structure called the haustorium to steal photosynthetate from the host cell. Here, we report …

To study the genetic control of plant responses to cold stress, Arabidopsis thaliana mutants
were isolated by a screen for mutations that impair cold-induced transcription of the CBF3 …

The generation of a specific cell shape requires differential growth, whereby specific regions
of the cell expand more relative to others. The Arabidopsis crooked mutant exhibits aberrant …

Pollen tube elongation is a rapid tip growth process that is driven by a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton. A ubiquitous family of actin binding proteins, actin-depolymerizing factors …

Pollen tube growth is dependent on a dynamic actin cytoskeleton, suggesting that actin-
regulating proteins are involved. We have examined the regulation of the lily pollen-specific …

The actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) encoded by a family of genes is highly conserved
among eukaryotes and plays critical roles in the various processes of plant growth …
