In this chapter, we are providing a brief overview of the tensegral concept as applied to plants. Starting with a short introduction to the history of the idea of mechanical integration of the cell and the organism, we then discuss the mechanical design of the plant body. The importance of the mechanical properties of cells, tissues, organs, and their domains is indicated, and the systems of detection...
Presenilin is a central, catalytic component of the γ-secretase complex which conducts intramembrane cleavage of various protein substrates. Although identified and mainly studied through its role in the development of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer disease, γ-secretase has many other important functions. The complex seems to be evolutionary conserved throughout the Metazoa, but recent findings in plants...
Gwałtowny rozwój technik mikroskopii fluorescencyjnej, w tym konfokalnej, w połączeniu z wykorzystaniem metod biologii molekularnej znacząco zdynamizowały rozwój molekularnej biologii komórki. Z wielu różnych względów, zwłaszcza znaczącej odmienności strukturalnej i funkcjonalnej, badania komórek roślinnych są nieco opóźnione. Artykuł podsumowuje stan badań systemu błon wewnętrznych komórek roślinnych...
