Plant vacuole morphology and vacuolar trafficking [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plant vacuoles are essential organelles for plant growth and development, and have multiple functions. Vacuoles are highly dynamic and pleiomorphic, and their size varies depending on the cell type and growth conditions. Vacuoles compartmentalize different cellular components such as proteins, sugars, ions and other secondary metabolites and play ...

Spotting plants’ microfilament morphologies and nanostructures [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019
Significance Microfibers existing in the tracheary systems of plants are crucial for the plants to survive. These microfilaments are curled up, forming left-handed helices that make the contour of tubes responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. The microfilaments present mechanical properties that vary
