vacuole- a tiny cavity filled with fluid in the cytoplasm of a cell cell- (biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; they may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals ...
Which type of cell structure is found in plants but not in animals? a. Nuclei b. Glyoxysomes c. Mitochondria d. Ribosomes e. Lysosomes Which structure is usually present only in animal cells? (a) Vacuole (b) Cell wal...
PCD represents a common mechanism underlying various developmental processes in both animals and plants [5,6,7]. In plants, developmental PCD (dPCD) has occurred concomitantly with reproductive and vegetative developments, for instance, cell death of the nucellar tissue, tapetum, sex determination, en...
These metabolites are widely found in plants and have important roles, in addition to being the main substance responsible for flower color and fruit color. Because anthocyanins result in plant color, a signal of fruit ripening, they are attractants for insects and animals [4] and can attract ...
Many of the mechanisms of abiotic stress response in plants were found to be similar, if not identical, independent of the stress factor [9]. Such non-specific stress responses may explain the cross-tolerance to various stresses of a particular resistant species or crop line. It has been ...
The fixed carbon is stored mainly as lipids and as the β-1,3 glucan known as chrysolaminaran in these species. Chrysolaminaran is a water soluble polysaccharide which accumulates in the vacuole, in contrast to starch which is crystallized and stored in chloroplast in members of green lineage...
Plants possess the ability to induce programmed cell death (PCD) in response to abiotic and biotic stresses; nevertheless, the evidence on PCD initiation during pear scald development and the involvement of the scald trigger 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (MHO) in this process is rudimentary.Pyrus bre...
These proteins have recently been shown to function at the tethering/docking stage of the vacuole fusion as a critical component of the SNARE complex [84]. The MON1B gene is found over-expressed in the corpus epididymis were it is known that a high level of secretion takes place. FXYD2,...
The SWEET family is a new group of sugar transporters facili- tating the translocation of sugars across the intracellular or plasma membranes in plants and animals [17, 18]. Dif- ferent from SUTs and MSTs, SWEETs can transport not only sucrose but also monosaccharides in bi-direction [8]. ...
Yeast cells were found collapsed which followed by an outflow of the cytoplasmic component (Figure 6). Molecules 2012, 17 7001 Figure 3. TEM micrograph of a cross-section of untreated cell of Candida albicans (C: Cytoplasm; CW: Cell Wall; M: Mitochondria; N: Nuc...
