Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the plant cytoskeleton and itsvarious cross-talks with other cellular components leading to itsrole in plant growth and development. It not only allows the geometric and signaling dimensions of cells, but is also very important in physiological processes. The book discusses the recent studies showingthe role of actin and microtubule cytoskeleton interactions incell-wall assembly and dynamics. The authors examine the role of both microtubules in themechanics of plant cells, and actin filaments in the motility of chloroplasts.Based on recent advances in the study ofthe acto-myosin complex using high-resolution microscopy, theyproposea new model for intracellular transport in plants. Exploring an almost-forgotten field of bioelectricity in the context of the cytoskeleton, the book highlights connections between the dynamic actin filaments and the bioelectricity of membranes and demonstrates that the plant cytoskeleton is involved in the distribution of plant hormones.Lastly, it addresses the role of endomembrane -cytoskeleton interactions to show the importance of the cytoskeleton in organellemorphogenesis and cellular functions. Studies in various plant modelshave shown how the actin filament and microtubules control and coordinate plantcell growth and development. This book summarizes the mechanisms underlying these functions.…
