Book Synopsis Intercellular Communication in Plants: Studies on Plasmodesmata by : B.E.S. Gunning
Download or read book Intercellular Communication in Plants: Studies on Plasmodesmata written by B.E.S. Gunning and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Volume attempts to summarise and integrate a field of study in its entirety: the nature of plasmodesmata, and the part these inter cellular connections play in the life of the plant. Except in the all embracing early reviews of the pre-electron microscope era, there has been a tendency for the subject to be approached from disparate points of view: plant physiologists, developmental biologists, biophysicists, virologists and cytologists all contributing to the corpus of knowledge, but often without a full appreciation of each others' goals and probl ems, and sometimes misinterpreting each others' findings. In June 1975 a group of about 40 specialists in these various disciplines, all with a common interest in intercellular communication in plants, met for two days, presented papers, talked, argued, and in general pooled their know ledge. Out of a synthesis of manuscripts and discussions there has emerged, by an editorial process of elimination of unnecessary dupli cation and insertions to ensure completeness of coverage, the present book - not so much a straight record of a conference, as a Monograph based on the proceedings. All of the Chapters are reviews and most include hitherto unpublished data or theoretical treatments.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants offer exciting opportunities to understand major biological questions, i.e. the regulation of development and morphogenesis. How are changes of the environment, developmental cues, and other signals perceived and transduced in physiological responses? What are the elements of plant signalling pathways and what is their organization? The panoply of molecular tools and techniques as well as the blossoming field of plant genetics are providing an exciting ground for major breakthroughs in unravelling the fundamental mechanisms of plant signalling. The present book establishes a state-of-the-art framework spanning the wide spectrum of perception, signal transduction events and transport processes, including cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation, embryogenesis, and flowering. Moreover, the volume emphasizes the role of the major plant signalling substances known to date (the phytohormones and more recently studied substances) and summarizes what we know on their molecular mechanisms of action. The book emphasizes how the use of molecular technology has made plant signalling processes accessible to experimental test.

Book Synopsis Annual Plant Reviews, Intercellular Communication in Plants by : Andrew J. Fleming
Download or read book Annual Plant Reviews, Intercellular Communication in Plants written by Andrew J. Fleming and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 16 Intercellular communication in plants plays a vital role in the co-ordination of processes leading to the formation of a functional organism. The signalling systems must function at a local level to co-ordinate events of cellular differentiation, over long distances to co-ordinate developmental and physiological responses in different parts of the plant, and they must even operate between separate individuals - for example, to control fertilization as part of the evolutionary strategy of a particular species. To cope with the diverse requirements for intercellular signalling, plants have evolved a spectrum of molecular mechanisms, and significant progress has been made over the last few years in our understanding of these processes. This volume provides an overview of our current understanding of intercellular communication in plants, with an emphasis on those research areas showing significant recent progress and promise. It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, physiology, cell biology and molecular biology.
Book Synopsis Annual Plant Reviews, Plasmodesmata by : Karl J. Oparka
Download or read book Annual Plant Reviews, Plasmodesmata written by Karl J. Oparka and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their discovery over 100 years ago, plasmodesmata have been the focus of intense investigation. Plasmodesmata are unique to plants and form an intercellular continuum for the transport of solutes, signals and ribonucleoprotein complexes. It is now clear that plasmodesmata formation and regulation are central to a diverse range of plant functions that include developmental programming, host-pathogen interactions and systemic RNA signaling. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the diverse forms and functions of plasmodesmata. It covers the structure and evolution of plasmodesmata, their role in plant development and solute transport, and their central function in systemic signaling via the phloem. It includes critical evaluations of current methods used to study intercellular transport via plasmodesmata. The volume is directed at researchers and professionals in plant cell biology, plant molecular biology, plant physiology and plant pathology.
Book Synopsis Parallels in Cell to Cell Junctions in Plants and Animals by : A.W. Robards
Download or read book Parallels in Cell to Cell Junctions in Plants and Animals written by A.W. Robards and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intracellular junctions provide routes for direct cell-to-cell signalling in both plants and animals. The present volume treats the parallels and differences between such junctions in animals and plants and discusses the most recent methods of examining the physiological functions and regulation of intracellular communication. Strong evidence of both molecular as well as functional simi§ larities between plasmodesmata and gap junctions is increasing. Even more interesting is the discovery that animal gap junction proteins cross-react immunologically with some proteins in plant cells. Thus the molecular construction and function of these crucially important ultrastructural cell components is now open to a concerted research effort to understand how cells, both plant and animal, facilitate and regulate intercellular transport.

Download or read book Communication in Plants written by František Baluška and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-02-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant neurobiology is a newly emerging field of plant sciences. It covers signalling and communication at all levels of biological organization – from molecules up to ecological communities. In this book, plants are presented as intelligent and social organisms with complex forms of communication and information processing. Authors from diverse backgrounds such as molecular and cellular biology, electrophysiology, as well as ecology treat the most important aspects of plant communication, including the plant immune system, abilities of plants to recognize self, signal transduction, receptors, plant neurotransmitters and plant neurophysiology. Further, plants are able to recognize the identity of herbivores and organize the defence responses accordingly. The similarities in animal and plant neuronal/immune systems are discussed too. All these hidden aspects of plant life and behaviour will stimulate further intense investigations in order to understand the communicative plants in their whole complexity.

Book Synopsis Function of Membrane Microdomains in Plasmodesmata Mediated Intercellular Communication by : Magalie Grison
Download or read book Function of Membrane Microdomains in Plasmodesmata Mediated Intercellular Communication written by Magalie Grison and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasmodesmata pores sustain intercellular communication in plants. They act as specialized signalling hubs clustering receptor activities, and are capable of generating and relaying signalling from cell-to-cell. As key elements in intercellular communication, plasmodesmata coordinate processes related to plant growth, development and environmental stresses responses. In this study, we identified three PM-located Leucine Rich Repeat Receptor Like Kinases (LRR-RLKs) that are able to dynamically and conditionally relocate to plasmodesmata upon abiotic stress. Plasmodesmal association occurs within 2 minutes and is not a general behaviour of PM or microdomain-associated proteins. Focusing on SAK1 (SUCROSE ACTIVATED KINASE) we demonstrated that the plasmodesmal dynamic association is neither dependent of sterol or sphingolipid composition and nor driven by the protein phosphorylation status. Importantly, we identified a polybasic amino acid motif in the Juxtamembrane Domain (JMD) of SAK1 predicted to bind anionic lipids that is critical for conditional plasmodesmal association. Altogether our data indicate that changes in the membrane molecular signature of plasmodesmata specialized domains accompanies responses to external stimuli.
Book Synopsis Crucial Connections by : Anne Mary Runkel
Download or read book Crucial Connections written by Anne Mary Runkel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant cells transport molecules through small channels called plasmodesmata (PD); these nanoscopic channels are ~30-50 nm in diameter and cross through cellulosic walls to connect neighboring cells. PD regulate the movement of key developmental factors (e.g. transcription factors, small RNAs, and hormones) from cell to cell, which influence the formation of new organs, cell types, embryos, and the meristem. Mutants that affect PD transport were identified indirectly, in screens for defective developmental processes (e.g. stomata formation or root development), and in screens directed at finding PD transport mutants. The genes identified in mutant screens for altered PD transport encode proteins that do not localize to PD. These genes that affect PD transport include INCREASED SIZE EXCLUSION LIMIT (ISE) 1 and ISE2, which encode RNA helicase proteins that localize to mitochondria and plastids, respectively; GFP ARRESTED TRAFFICKING 1 (GAT1), which encodes a plastid-localized thioredoxin; CHAPERONIN CONTAINING TCP1 8 (CCT8), which encodes a cytoplasmic chaperonin subunit; and DECREASED SIZE EXCLUSION LIMIT 1 (DSE1), which encodes a WD40-repeat protein found in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Loss of DSE1 causes decreased PD transport both in Arabidopsis thaliana embryos and in the leaves of a distantly related eudicot species Nicotiana benthamiana. Through transcriptome analysis, we demonstrate here that DSE1 affects the expression of seed maturation and abscisic acid (ABA) response genes and that ABA INSENSITIVE 5 (ABI5), a key ABA transcription factor, reduces cell-cell transport. Further, dse1 embryos have reduced PD frequency, suggesting that the PD transport phenotype observed in this mutant is due to fewer PD in the cell wall. We characterize a new PD mutant ise3 that was identified in a screen for mutants with increased PD transport in A. thaliana embryos. ISE3 encodes a SEL1-like repeat mitochondrial protein and we show that this protein interacts with an EMBRYO DEFECTIVE-mitochondrial-PPR-domain-containing protein in Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation. Loss of the N. benthamiana orthologs of ISE3 or its interactor, ISE3 INTERACTING PROTEIN 1 (IPR1), cause increased PD transport in leaves. We also show that ISE3, like ISE1 affects the expression of genes involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulation and show that loss of ISE3 or IPR1 cause increased H2O2 production. These results support findings that ROS can regulate PD transport, and further suggest that the mitochondria and the plastids signal to the nucleus (through ‘retrograde signaling’) to coordinate nuclear gene expression and PD transport, in a pathway called ‘organelle-nucleus-PD signaling’, or ONPS. This thesis supports the growing body of evidence that intercellular transport is driven by critical intracellular signals and processes. Retrograde signalling pathways require signal exchange among the organelles and the nucleus, and a putative pathway for this exchange is through “stromules,” which are stroma-filled tubular extensions of plastids. Herein we describe the first identified signal transduction pathways initiated by the plastid that are linked to stromule formation. We show that stromule frequency is affected by light cues as well as by ROS and the redox status of the chloroplast. Finally, we demonstrate that isolated chloroplasts can make stromules, indicating that the plastid drives the formation of these tubule structures, which may be involved in intracellular signalling.
