Book Synopsis Plant Cell Organelles by : J Pridham
Download or read book Plant Cell Organelles written by J Pridham and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Cell Organelles contains the proceedings of the Phytochemical Group Symposium held in London on April 10-12, 1967. Contributors explore most of the ideas concerning the structure, biochemistry, and function of the nuclei, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuoles, and other organelles of plant cells. This book is organized into 13 chapters and begins with an overview of the enzymology of plant cell organelles and the localization of enzymes using cytochemical techniques. The text then discusses the structure of the nuclear envelope, chromosomes, and nucleolus, along with chromosome sequestration and replication. The next chapters focus on the structure and function of the mitochondria of higher plant cells, biogenesis in yeast, carbon pathways, and energy transfer function. The book also considers the chloroplast, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi bodies, and the microtubules. The final chapters discuss protein synthesis in cell organelles; polysomes in plant tissues; and lysosomes and spherosomes in plant cells. This book is a valuable source of information for postgraduate workers, although much of the material could be used in undergraduate courses.
Download or read book Plant Cell Vacuoles written by Deepesh De and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the only comprehensive work, at introductory level, on plant cell vacuoles. Vacuoles are ubiquitous, multifaceted and indispensable organelles and yet they have been thinly treated in the literature to date. This is at odds with the amount of interest in vacuoles that has been expressed in the last two decades. This comprehensive work provides a solid foundation on vacuoles to an advanced level. The latest research findings have been included in all aspects of plant and yeast vacuoles. The book synthesizes all the available information on the plant cell vacuole. It includes methodologies, occurrence and diversity, structure and biochemistry of tonoplasts and molecular biology of biogenesis and diverse functions, all presented in a concise way. The tremendous surge in the genetic engineering of plants for commercial products requires a comprehension of the functions and possibilities of vacuole manipulation since most of the targets of improvement directly involve vacuoles. Thus the work will be valuable to students of plant sciences, plant breeding, cell biology and plant biotechnology, as well as advanced researchers who seek a better understanding of this vital organelle.
Download or read book Plant Membranes written by Y.Y. Leshem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plasma membrane is at once the window through which the cell senses the environment and the portal through which the environment influences the structure and activities of the cell. Its importance in cellular physiology can thus hardly be overestimated, since constant flow of materials between cell and environment is essential to the well-being of any biological system. The nature of the materials mov ing into the cell is also critical, since some substances are required for maintenance and growth, while others, because of their toxicity, must either be rigorously excluded or permitted to enter only after chemical alteration. Such alteration frequently permits the compounds to be sequestered in special cellular compartments having different types of membranes. This type of homogeneity, plus the fact that the wear and tear of transmembrane molecular traffic compels the system to be constantly monitored and repaired, means that the membrane system of any organism must be both structurally complex and dy namic. Membranes have been traditionally difficult to study because of their fragility and small diameter. In the last several decades, however, remarkable advances have been made because of techniques permit ting the bulk isolation of membranes from homogenized cells. From such isolated membranes have come detailed physical and chemical analyses that have given us a detailed working model of membrane. We now can make intelligent guesses about the structural and func tional interactions of membrane lipids, phospholipids, proteins, sterols and water.

Book Synopsis Cell Components by : Hans-Ferdinand Linskens
Download or read book Cell Components written by Hans-Ferdinand Linskens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis When the handbook Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was first introduced in 1954 the considerations were 1. the dependence of scientific progress in biology on the improvement of existing and the introduction of new methods; 2. the inavailability of many new analytical methods concealed in specialized journals not normally accessible to experimental plant biologists; 3. the fact that in the methods sections of papers the description of methods is frequently so compact, or even sometimes so incomplete, that experiments are difficult to reproduce. These considerations still stand today. The series was highly successful, seven volumes appearing between 1956 and 1964. Since today there is still a demand for the old series, the publisher has decided to resume publication of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis. It is hoped that the New Series will be as acceptable to those working in plant sciences and related fields as the early volumes undoubtedly were. It is difficult to single out the major reasons for success of any publication, but we believe that the methods published in the first series were up-to-date at the time and the descriptions as applied to plant material so complete in themselves that there was little need to consult other publications.
Book Synopsis Plant Cell Compartments--selected Topics by : Benoît Schoefs
Download or read book Plant Cell Compartments--selected Topics written by Benoît Schoefs and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membranes separate the interior medium from the exterior. Obviously, separation does not mean isolation and the membranes, as we can see them at present, act as selective filters across which different types of compounds such as salts, waste, nutriments, nucleotides, etc are transported. Depending on the molecule to be transported several ways can be used. How nucleotides are transported through the thylakoid membranes to the lumen and used in the chloroplast is the aim of the chapter by Drs. Spetea and Thuswaldner, while that of Drs. Paulilo and Falkenkrog reviews the composition of nuclear pores that mediate all the traffic between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In which ways, during evolution, the first cells were formed and how the different compartments appeared remain as tremendously exciting questions, but so far unsolved in many cases. Several theories have been proposed. The best known is that proposed by Margulis (1970), according to which an ancestral anaerobic prokaryote would become able to ingest solid particles such as other prokaryotes. In some cases the ingested bacteria continued to live and have evolved to give different types of membranes that eukaryotic cells contain today. This theory, also called the endosymbiotic theory, explains the origin of both the chloroplasts and the mitochondria, two major organelles of plant cells. More recently, another symbiotic theory has been proposed by Martin and Müller (1998) to explain the origin of mitochondria. While the contribution by Dr. Bizanz and collaborators traces back the unexpected fate of plastids in today's prokaryotic parasites of animal cells, the chapters by Drs. Solymosi and Schoefs, Dr. Chamarovsky and collaborators and, Dr. Rohacek and collaborators are dedicated to the biogenesis and functioning of the chloroplast membranes. The way of differentiation of the other organelles and cell compartments remain so far as unanswered questions. The search for analoguous compartments in lower organisms may provide the first elements of an answer. The chapter by Dr. H. Guo enters in this frame and offers a good example for the existence of a putative, so far unrevealed compartment analogue to the higher plant vacuole in cyanobacteria. The plant cell turgor is maintained thanks to the functioning of two typical compartments of plant cells i.e. the cell-wall and the vacuole, but these compartments play other important roles in plant physiology. The chapters by Dr. El Gharras and Dr. Martinez on the accumulation of betalain pigments in vacuoles and strawberry cell-wall softening, respectively, illustrate these aspects of the field. Even if plant cells are surrounded by a thick and rigid cell-wall, their interior is highly dynamic: the organelles are able to move. The contribution by Dr. Foissner analyzes the dynamic of mitochondria in Chara internodal cells. In contrast to animals, plants cannot escape from adverse conditions. Consequently, they have developed strategies to survive to biotic or/and abiotic stresses. In this book the description of the answers of plants to several stresses are the aim of some chapters. While the contribution by Dr. Ben Khaled and collaborators reports on the peroxidase activity in palm plantlets inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the presence of biocontrol agents, the chapter by Dr. Dumas-Gaudot and collaborators, describes the modifications in the protein composition occuring during the differentiation of the arbuscules. The formation of the arbuscule is accompanied by a redistribution of the colonized root cell organelles around the arbuscule and by a dramatic change in the plastid metabolism allowing them to produce secondary metabolites, including secondary carotenoid and apocarotenoid molecules (chapter by Dr. Fester). Abiotic stresses, such as nitrogen deficiency, are also able to trigger the production of secondary carotenoids. Dr. Lemoine and collaborators review such a strategy in green algae. Because secondary carotenoids are usually high added value compounds, the knowledge about the functioning of the different compartments in such a production is also of great importance for the economic side of plant science s.l. How chloroplasts cope with heavy metals is discussed in the chapter by Dr. Poirier and collaborators. During the last years, new technical tools such as confocal imaging became more popular. Their use revealed the presence of new compartments, sometimes being divided into subtle sub-compartments. The intention of this book is to bring together a serie of outstanding contributions dealing with the biosynthesis, content, distribution, function, and physiology of various plant cell compartments. By combining the major contributions in this book, I wished to contribute to the propagation of the recent developments in plant cell biochemistry and physiology, to the discovery of the wonderful plant world and, also, to mutual exchange of ideas. Without the excellent work of the different authors, who have taken great care to present an up-to-date review of their field and 'Research Signpost' as the commercial editor, this book could not have been produced. I wish to dedicate this book to the different mentors in Belgium, Czech Republic and France, who showed me the scientific way and, also to my wife for her everlasting support to me.
Download or read book Calreticulin written by Paul Eggleton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the latest discoveries on calreticulin, calnexin and other endoplasmic reticulum proteins. Calreticulin has been implicated to affect diverse cellular function and play a role in many pathologies including protein folding disorders, cardiac pathologies, cancer and autoimmunity. This book contains contributions from the world leaders in the area of endoplasmic reticulum function, protein folding, Calcium homeostasis and autoimmunity. It raises many intriguing questions about calreticulin, calnexin and the endoplasmic reticulum and gives a unique opportunity to realize the significance of these calcium-binding chaperones. The book is unique in every respect and we are not aware of any other publication focusing on these aspects of endoplasmic reticulum biology. Because of a central role of endoplasmic reticulum, calreticulin and calnexin in virtually all cellular functions, the book should be of interest to everyone in the biological sciences.
Book Synopsis Origin and Continuity of Cell Organelles by : J. Reinert

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the series, on "The Stability of the Differentiated State" received many favorable reviews from the scientific community. Many readers seem to agree with us that publication of topical volumes is a worthwhile alternative to periodic compilations of rather unrelated, though up-to-date reviews. Production of topical volumes is however, plagued with one great difficulty, that of "author synchronization". This difficulty explains the lag between volumes 1 and 2 of the series. Nevertheless we hope that the present volume will be appreciated as a valuable source of information on its central topic: How do cell organelles originate, and what mechanisms assure their continuity?

Book Synopsis The Plant Plasma Membrane by : Christer Larsson
Download or read book The Plant Plasma Membrane written by Christer Larsson and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-03-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plasma membrane forms the living barrier between the cell and its surroundings. For this reason it has a wide range of important functions related to the regulation of the composition of the cell interior and to com munication with the cell exterior. The plasma membrane has therefore attracted a lot of research interest. Until the early 1970's it was only pos sible to study the plasma membrane in situ, its structure e. g. by electron microscopy and its function e. g. by uptake of radioactively labeled com pounds into the intact cell or tissue. The first isolation of plant protoplasts by enzymatic digestion of the cell wall in the early 1970's was an important step forward in that it provided direct access to the outer surface of the plasma membrane. More importantly, T. K. Hodges and R. J. Leonard in 1972 published the description of a method by which a fraction enriched in plasma membranes could be isolated from plant tissues using sucrose gradient centrifugation. As a result, the 1970's saw a leap forward in our understanding of the structurc and function of the plasma membrane. In 1981, S. Widell and C. Larsson published the first of a series of papers in which plasma membrane vesicles of high yield and purity were isolated from a wide range of plant tissues using aqueous polymer two-phase parti tioning.
