Optical Trapping in Plant Cells
2013Optical tweezers allow noninvasive manipulation of subcellular compartments to study their physical interactions and attachments. By measuring (delay of) displacements, (semi-)quantitative force measurements within a living cell can be performed. In this chapter, we provide practical tips for setting up such experiments paying special attention to the ...

This chapter provides an overview of the basic anatomy and cell biology of plants, from the macroscopic structure of organs and tissues to the microscopic ultrastructure of cellular organelles. It shows how plants carry out similar physiological and biochemical processes, despite their great diversity in form and size.

Composition of plant cell walls
Zeitschrift f�r Lebensmittel-Untersuchung und -Forschung, 1995The present study reviews the most recent research published (starting approximately in the 1980s) on the composition of plant cell walls, with a description of the polysaccharides contained in the microfibrillar and amorphous phases: cellulose, hemicellulose and pectic substances, as well as the other components: lignin, proteins and enzymes ...

Cell-to-cell movement of plant viruses
Trends in Microbiology, 1993To establish an infection, most plant viruses move from cell to cell in the plant. Virus-encoded movement proteins mediate this process and appear to use two mechanisms for transport. Both mechanisms involve interaction with and potential modification of plant intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata.

Cryopreservation of Plant Cells
2003Cryopreservation, that is, the viable storage of cells at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (-196°C), has wide relevance in many areas of pure and applied biology. Examples of its very successful use can be found in the storage of microbes and of semen (1).

Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 1977
AbstractIt is now possible, starting from isolated cells in culture, to regenerate higher plants, including many of importance in agriculture and horticulture. It is also possible to alter the genetic equipment of such cells and to induce the formation of fusion hybrids from them by enzymic removal of their cell walls.

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on plant cell lines. When totipotentiality is manipulatable the cultures can serve as intermediary in rapid clonal multiplication of plants and in elimination of viruses and related pathogens. Cultured plant cells are larger, more vacuolated, lower in cytoplasm content, thicker walled, and smaller of nuclei than

This chapter considers how water moves into and out of plant cells, emphasizing the molecular properties of water and the physical forces that influence water movement at the cellular level. It points out that water is the most abundant and yet often the most limiting of all the resources that plants need to grow and function.
