BMC Plant Biology, 2008 Background The cytoskeletal mechanisms that underlie organelle transport in plants are intimately linked to acto-myosin function. This function is mediated by the attachment of myosin heads to F-actin and the binding of cargo to the tails.

Myosins VIII and XI play distinct roles in reproduction and transport of tobacco mosaic virus.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Viruses are obligatory parasites that depend on host cellular factors for their replication as well as for their local and systemic movement to establish infection.

Differential gene expression in tall fescue tissues in response to water deficit
The Plant Genome, 2022 Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is a popular pasture and turf grass particularly known for drought resistance, allowing for its persistence in locations that are unfavorable for other cool‐season grasses.

Actin–myosin XI: an intracellular control network in plants
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018 Actin is one of the three major cytoskeletal components in eukaryotic cells. Myosin XI is an actin-based motor protein in plant cells. Organelles are attached to myosin XI and translocated along the actin filaments. This dynamic actin-myosin XI system plays a major role in subcellular organelle transport and cytoplasmic streaming. Previous studies have

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development. [PDF]
Cytoskeleton (Hoboken)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.

Regulation of organ straightening and plant posture by an actin–myosin XI cytoskeleton [PDF]
Nature Plants, 2015 Plants are able to bend nearly every organ in response to environmental stimuli such as gravity and light(1,2). After this first phase, the responses to stimuli are restrained by an independent mechanism, or even reversed, so that the organ will stop bending and attain its desired posture.

Class XI Myosins Contribute to Auxin Response and Senescence-Induced Cell Death in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The integrity and dynamics of actin cytoskeleton is necessary not only for plant cell architecture but also for membrane trafficking-mediated processes such as polar auxin transport, senescence, and cell death.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetic particles are organized into layered architectures by combining shear flow and magnetic fields, with the resulting structures governed by appropriate Mason numbers. The programmed assemblies provide spatial guidance for cell placement, linking field‐controlled self‐assembly, flow‐induced structuring and biological organization.
