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.

Cytological effects of Dimethoate and Lambda-Cyhalothrin on Pollen Grain Cells Reproduction and Development

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research
This study investigates the effects of Dimethoate (A) and Lambda-Cyhalothrin (B) on pollen grain cells in the soil at various concentrations. Lowest exine thickness was observed in soil treated with a combination of Dimethoate and Lambda-Cyhalothrin (A ...

Genetically modified crops do not present variations in pollen viability and morphology when compared to their conventional counterparts.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Modern agricultural biotechnologies, such as those derived from genetic modification, are solutions that can enable an increase in food production, lead to more efficient use of natural resources, and promote environmental impact reduction.

Cross-sensitization between poppy seed and buckwheat in a food-allergic patient with poppy seed anaphylaxis [PDF]

, 2006
The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum L., is the source of both poppy seeds and opium. The commercially available seeds are widely used as ingredients for various kinds of food.

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.

Evidence for a role of Arabidopsis CDT1 proteins in gametophyte development and maintenance of genome integrity [PDF]

, 2012
Meristems retain the ability to divide throughout the life cycle of plants, which can last for over 1000 years in some species. Furthermore, the germline is not laid down early during embryogenesis but originates from the meristematic cells relatively ...

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

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 ...

Comparative pollen morphology of Calycanthaceae for their taxonomic implication

European Journal of Biological Research, 2020
The pollen morphology of four species of Calycanthaceae is described based on the observation of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. All pollens are monad, large grain category. The pollen grain was elliptic with disulcate.
