Atkinesin-13A Modulates Cell-Wall Synthesis and Cell Expansion in Arabidopsis thaliana via the THESEUS1 Pathway
Growth of plant organs relies on cell proliferation and expansion. While an increasingly detailed picture about the control of cell proliferation is emerging, our knowledge about the control of cell expansion remains more limited. We demonstrate here that the internal-motor kinesin AtKINESIN-13A (AtKIN13A) limits cell expansion and cell size in Arabidopsis thaliana, with loss-of-function atkin1...
متن کاملAnisotropic expansion of the plant cell wall.
Plants shape their organs with a precision demanded by optimal function; organ shaping requires control over cell wall expansion anisotropy. Focusing on multicellular organs, I survey the occurrence of expansion anisotropy and discuss its causes and proposed controls. Expansion anisotropy of a unit area of cell wall is characterized by the direction and degree of anisotropy. The direction of ma...
متن کاملImaging the Primary Cell Wall
Introduction As the son of an artist, I grew up surrounded by drawings, paintings, and sculpture. Perhaps for that reason, making images is central to my work as a scientist. The problem I study, organ morphogenesis, requires analysis of the cell wall. Fertile approaches stretch out in many directions (see the rest of this book) but I have been drawn to architectural problems, revealing how com...
متن کاملStretching and setting boundaries
This month's installment of Generally Physiological considers a channel in skeletal muscle and a cardiac G pro-tein–coupled receptor (GPCR) that are sensitive to mechanical stress as well as their respective ligands, and how the geometry of subcellular domains influences GPCR dynamics. Stretching the boundaries of nAChR gating Although ion channels are often broadly classified as " voltage-gate...
متن کاملMorphogenesis of the Fission Yeast Cell through Cell Wall Expansion
The shape of walled cells such as fungi, bacteria, and plants are determined by the cell wall. Models for cell morphogenesis postulate that the effects of turgor pressure and mechanical properties of the cell wall can explain the shapes of these diverse cell types. However, in general, these models await validation through quantitative experiments. Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are ro...
