Plant traits and wood fates across the globe: rotted,
Wood represents the defining feature of forest systems, and often the carbon in woody debris has a long residence time. Globally, coarse dead wood contains 36–72 Pg C, and understanding what controls the fate of this C is important for predicting C cycle responses to global change. The fate of a piece of wood may include one or more of the following: microbial decomposition, combustion, consump...
متن کاملPlant immune and growth receptors share common signalling components but localise to distinct plasma membrane nanodomains
Cell surface receptors govern a multitude of signalling pathways in multicellular organisms. In plants, prominent examples are the receptor kinases FLS2 and BRI1, which activate immunity and steroid-mediated growth, respectively. Intriguingly, despite inducing distinct signalling outputs, both receptors employ common downstream signalling components, which exist in plasma membrane (PM)-localise...
متن کاملPlant and Animal Traits Are Inherited in Specific Patterns
D breeding must be one of the oldest uses of genetics. Ever since the domestic dog (Canis familaris) evolved from the gray wolf (Canis lupus), humans have been changing the genetics of our best friend. The original shift from wild to domesticated probably came when friendly wolves hung around campfires, scrounging for scraps. Perhaps the protodogs made themselves useful by chasing away other sc...
متن کاملPlant and Mammal Aquaporins: Same but Different
Aquaporins (AQPs) constitute an ancient and diverse protein family present in all living organisms, indicating a common ancient ancestor. However, during evolution, these organisms appear and evolve differently, leading to different cell organizations and physiological processes. Amongst the eukaryotes, an important distinction between plants and animals is evident, the most conspicuous differe...
متن کاملIonotropic Glutamate Receptors and their Role in Neurological Diseases
Glutamate is extensively and relatively uniformly distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) and its effects mediated by two distinct groups of receptors including Ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Concentration of glutamate in the nervous system is much higher than in other tissues. Glutamate receptors play an important role in synaptic transmission, neural plasticity and n...
