Anthony Trewavas Signal Perception and Transduction
نویسنده
چکیده
Plant cells are constantly bombarded with information to which they must react. Signal transduction, the means whereby cells construct responses to a signal, is a recently defined focus of research in plant biology. The application of biochemical and molecular genetic techniques has resulted in major advances in elucidating the mechanisms that regulate gene expression and in identifying components of many signal transduction pathways in diverse physiological systems. Today, signal transduction research contributes to all aspects of plant science, linking many fields of study in much the same way that signal transduction pathways link myriad cellular processes.

Aspects of plant intelligence.
Intelligence is not a term commonly used when plants are discussed. However, I believe that this is an omission based not on a true assessment of the ability of plants to compute complex aspects of their environment, but solely a reflection of a sessile lifestyle. This article, which is admittedly controversial, attempts to raise many issues that surround this area. To commence use of the term ...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملThe Expression of Signal Regulatory Protein-alpha in Normal and Osteoarthritic Human Articular Cartilage and Its Involvement in Chondrocyte Mechano-transduction Response
Signal regulatory proteins (SIRP) belong to immunoglobulin super family (IgSF) and relate to integrin signaling cascades. It has been shown that SIRPa is expressed in a variety of cells including myeloid cells and neurons. In the present study the expression of this IgSF member in articular chondrocytes was investigated. Methods: Using a panel of anti-SIRPalpha antibodies, immunohistochemistry...
