Microtubules and Microfilaments in Cell Morphogenesis in Higher Plants
Microtubules and microfilaments play important roles in cell morphogenesis. The picture emerging from drug studies and molecular-genetic analyses of mutant higher plants defective in cell morphogenesis shows that the roles played by them remain the same in both tip-growing and diffuse-growing cells. Microtubules are important for establishing and maintaining growth polarity whereas actin microf...
متن کاملRegulation of cell fate determination in plants
Building a multicellular organism, like a plant, from a single cell requires the coordinated formation of different cell types in a spatiotemporal arrangement. How different cell types arise in appropriate places and at appropriate times is one of the most intensively investigated questions in modern plant biology. Using models such as trichome formation, root hair formation, and stomatal devel...
متن کاملSignaling mechanisms in pituitary morphogenesis and cell fate determination.
The development of the pituitary gland has provided an instructive model system for exploring the mechanisms by which differentiated cell types arise from a common primordium in response to extrinsic and intrinsic signals. Recent studies have established that organ commitment, early patterning, proliferation and positional determination of cell types in the developing pituitary are mediated thr...
متن کاملCell wall, cytoskeleton, and cell expansion in higher plants.
To accommodate two seemingly contradictory biological roles in plant physiology, providing both the rigid structural support of plant cells and the adjustable elasticity needed for cell expansion, the composition of the plant cell wall has evolved to become an intricate network of cellulosic, hemicellulosic, and pectic polysaccharides and protein. Due to its complexity, many aspects of the cell...
متن کاملCell morphogenesis: How plants split hairs
How is shape controlled at the level of the smallest unit of an organism — the individual cell? A powerful system for addressing this question in plants is provided by the leaf trichomes of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana [1,2]. Trichomes are unicellular hairs originating from epidermal cells (Figure 1a), which are up to 500 μm long and 50 μm wide at their base, and contain sixteen times m...
