Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Synthesis of β‐Alanine From Isoleucine and Propionate Catabolism via Aminotransferases
Plant DirectIn plants, the nonproteinogenic amino acid β‐alanine plays a role in response to hypoxia, flooding, drought, heat, and heavy metal stress conditions. It is also a key intermediate in the synthesis of essential molecules including vitamin B5 and coenzyme ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pollen is a male gametophyte of angiosperms. Following meiosis, the microspore undergoes an asymmetric division called pollen mitosis I (PMI), which produces two cells of different sizes: a large vegetative cell and a small generative cell. Polarized nuclear migration and positioning during PMI are important for successful pollen development ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The homeostatic cortical actin array in plant cells plays important roles in fundamental processes, including intracellular transport, secretion, cell expansion, and cytoplasmic streaming. In response to diverse chemical and mechanical signals, the cortical array can remodel within minutes to assume new configurations or altered filament ...
