plastids which play a major role in photosynthesis and storage of starch, large vacuoles responsible for regulating the cell turgor pressure. They also have a very unique cell division process whereby there is the formation of a phragmoplast (a complex made up of microtubules, microfilaments...
Although plant cells differ greatly they all have similar eukaryotic organisation.It can be seen in this diagram of a plant cell that the cells are made up of many different parts; these are known as organelles. These are described in more detail below. Parts shown in the Plant cell diagram...
In vivo formation of xyloglucan nonasaccharide — a possible biologically-active cell-wall fragment. Planta 169, 443–453 (1986). Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar Ito, H. & Nishitani, K. Visualization of EXGT-mediated molecular grafting activity by means of a fluorescent-labeled xyloglucan ...
the ultrastructure of infected PNLs was observed by TEM. In mock-treated PNLs, chloroplasts with an elliptical or lens-like shape were arranged along the plasma membrane, with distinct grana stacking and an intact chloroplast envelope (Fig.4b). Infection withM. acerinacaused cell integrity loss,...
To advance future breakthroughs and insight in plant cell molecular biology, structural knowledge of membrane transporters is indispensable. This review summarizes the current status of structural knowledge in the plant membrane transporter field. Plants utilize the proton motive force (PMF) to drive ...
(C) The phylogenetic tree showing a total of 191 UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) with the different UGT subfamilies labeled. R. glutinosa UGTs are highlighted in red while A. thaliana UGTs are highlighted in black. DMAPP: dimethylally diphosphate; DXP: 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate...
Relationships of 68 angiosperm orders in PPA II, based on maximum likelihood analysis of 80 plastid genes and 4782 samples. Bootstrap percentages less than 100 are shown. Twenty clades (labeled with roman numerals) are listed in Additional file15: Table S2. Eight gymnosperm orders are included ...
Such an event is more likely to have significantly greater negative consequences to the organism than if the event occurred in the subtelomeric region, which then might result in exchange of telomeres [17, 47]; loss of centromeres would prohibit cell division, whereas loss of telomeres might ...
Uptake assay of GFP-labeled proteins by plant cells Tomato cell cultures (MsK8) were incubated for 30 min with incubation buffer (10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7, and 0.1% BSA), followed by the addition of GFP-tagged peptide solutions (5.5 μM) for 18 h. The cells were subsequ...
(20 mM Tris, pH 7.9, 500 mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol, 1 mM PMSF, and 5 mM Benzamidine), and lysed by a high-pressure cell disrupter. Target protein was collected from the supernatant and firstly purified over Ni2+affinity resin. After that, the N-terminal 6× His and SUMO tags...
