Chong K, Deng Y (2012) The three dimensionality of cell membranes: lamellar to cubic membrane transition as investigated by electron microscopy. Methods Cell Biol 108:319–343K. Chong, Y. Deng, in The Three Dimensionality of Cell Membranes: Lamellar to Cubic Membrane Transition as Investigated ...
The cell membranes of cuticle cells are also markedly different from the cell membranes of cortical cells. Models with supporting evidence are presented for the three different types of cell membrane complex: cuticle–cuticle CMC, cuticle–cortex CMC, and cortex–cortex CMC....
Two of those functions lead to a decrease in interfacial tension at the forming cell–cell contact, thereby promoting contact expansion — first, by providing adhesion tension that lowers interfacial tension at the cell–cell contact, and second, by signaling to the actomyosin cytoskeleton in order...
Representative functions of the categorized genes were elucidated, providing better understanding of B. rapa evolution and the Brassica genus.Background The genus Brassica belongs to the Brassiceae tribe, Brassicaceae family, Brassicales order. The genus contains 38 species and several varieties, as ...
Briefly describe five functions of membrane proteins. Why does a eukaryotic cell need so many compartments(organelles)? What is the function of the nucleus? How do genes in the nucleus control the functions of other parts of the cell?
23). Because lipids are the critical components of the cell membrane, these data suggest that the three LRR-RLKs may also regulate the biosynthesis of the cell membrane. The integrity of the cell membrane could also be altered in arh1-2 fei1-C fei2-C. Mutants with defects in CCW all ...
Single-molecule localization microscopy is a powerful tool for visualizing subcellular structures, interactions and protein functions in biological research. However, inhomogeneous refractive indices inside cells and tissues distort the fluorescent signa
The spatial organization of eukaryotic genomes is linked to their biological functions, although it is not clear how this impacts the overall evolution of a genome. Here, we uncover the three-dimensional (3D) genome organization of the phytopathogen Verticillium dahliae, known to possess distinct gen...
(B) Heatmap of differentially expressed genes between the high-risk score group and the low-risk score group in the validation cohort. Full size image Furthermore, the potential functions of 322 DEGs were evaluated according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (...
In plants, carotenoids serve as the precursors to C13-norisoprenoids, a group of apocarotenoid compounds with diverse biological functions. Enzymatic cleavage of carotenoids catalysed by members of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) family has been shown to produce a number of industrially import...
