The most fundamental questions such as whether a cell is alive, in the sense of being able
to divide or to form a colony, may sometimes be very hard to answer, since even axenic …

In this review, we discuss new insights in cell wall architecture and cell wall construction in
the ascomycetous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transcriptional profiling studies …

Mitochondria have a central role in ageing. They are considered to be both a target of the
ageing process and a contributor to it. Alterations in mitochondrial structure and function are …

The plant hormone auxin is central in many aspects of plant development. Previous studies
have implicated the ubiquitin-ligase SCFTIR1 and the AUX/IAA proteins in auxin response …

The plant hormone auxin controls numerous aspects of plant growth and development by
regulating the expression of hundreds of genes. SMALL AUXIN UP RNA (SAUR) genes …

We have used a lipophilic styryl dye, N-(3-triethylammoniumpropyl)-4-(p-diethylaminophenyl-
hexatrienyl) pyridinium dibromide (FM 4-64), as a vital stain to follow bulk membrane …

Diploid S. cerevisiae strains undergo a dimorphic transition that involves changes in cell
shape and the pattern of cell division and results in invasive filamentous growth in response …

Elucidating the biology of yeast in its full complexity has major implications for science,
medicine and industry. One of the most critical processes determining yeast life and …

The collection of vacuolar protein sorting mutants (vps mutants) in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae comprises of 41 complementation groups. The vacuoles in these mutant strains …

The fungal vacuole is an extremely complex organelle that is involved in a wide variety of
functions. The vacuole not only carries out degradative processes, the role most often …
