Auxin metabolism and function in the multicellular brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus.
Ectocarpus siliculosus is a small brown alga that has recently been developed as a genetic model. Its thallus is filamentous, initially organized as a main primary filament composed of elongated cells and round cells, from which branches differentiate. Modeling of its early development suggests the involvement of very local positional information mediated by cell-cell recognition. However, this...
متن کامل13-P010 Auxin in the control of the development of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus
cate that Shh signalling controls Laminin gene expression, a critical step in the formation of the myotomal basement membrane, and that Laminin-111 has specific and essential role in myotomal basement membrane assembly. Together, our data reveal a novel role for Shh signalling in the control of basement membrane assembly and provide a framework for understanding the complex interactions between...
متن کاملComputational prediction and experimental validation of microRNAs in the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus
We used an in silico approach to predict microRNAs (miRNAs) genome-wide in the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus. As brown algae are phylogenetically distant from both animals and land plants, our approach relied on features shared by all known organisms, excluding sequence conservation, genome localization and pattern of base-pairing with the target. We predicted between 500 and 1500 miRNAs ca...
متن کاملSurface-bound iron: a metal ion buffer in the marine brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus?
Although the iron uptake and storage mechanisms of terrestrial/higher plants have been well studied, the corresponding systems in marine algae have received far less attention. Studies have shown that while some species of unicellular algae utilize unique mechanisms of iron uptake, many acquire iron through the same general mechanisms as higher plants. In contrast, the iron acquisition strategi...
متن کاملMorphoelasticity in the development of brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus: from cell rounding to branching
A biomechanical model is proposed for the growth of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus Featuring ramified uniseriate filaments, this alga has two modes of growth: apical growth and intercalary growth with branching. Apical growth occurs upon the mitosis of a young cell at one extremity and leads to a new tip cell followed by a cylindrical cell, whereas branching mainly occurs when a cylindri...
