Leaf margin organisation and the existence of vaterite-producing hydathodes in the alpine plant Saxifraga scardica
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Some sections of species within the genus Saxifraga deposit a chalky crust on the surface of their leaves, originating from the guttation medium produced by the sunken hydathodes found generally at or near the leaf margin. ... -
Molecular time-sharing through dynamic pulsing in single cells
In bacteria, alternative sigma factors regulate diverse stress responses and developmental programs. Sigma factors share a common pool of core RNA polymerase (RNAP). Sharing has been assumed to occur through partitioning ... -
The self-organization of plant microtubules inside the cell volume yields their cortical localization, stable alignment, and sensitivity to external cues.
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-02-20)Many cell functions rely on the ability of microtubules to self-organize as complex networks. In plants, cortical microtubules are essential to determine cell shape as they guide the deposition of cellulose microfibrils, ...
