Intercellular signals from walls during embryogenesis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The plant cell wall is very complex, both in structure and function. The wall components and the mechanical properties of the wall have been implicated in conveying information that is important for morphogenesis. Proteoglycans, fragments of polysaccharides and the structural integrity of the wall may relay signals that influence cellular differentiation and growth control. Furthering our knowledge of cell wall structure and function is likely to have a profound impact on our understanding of how plant cells communicate with the extracellular environment.

Neighborly relations during collective migration.
The collective migration of sheets, cohorts, chains or streams of cells contributes to embryogenesis, tissue remodeling and repair as well as to cancer invasion. The functional coordination between neighboring cells is at the heart of collective migration, during which cells migrate with a similar speed in an identical direction. Far from being the result of the simultaneous migration of isolat...
متن کاملControl improves with age: intercellular transport in plant embryos and adults.
P lasmodesmata (PD), the intercellular channels that span plasma membranes and cell walls between adjacent plant cells, are unique structures that create cytoplasmic continuity, termed the symplast, between individual cells. Within a symplastic domain, a group of cells that are interconnected by PD are able to exchange a wide range of molecules, from ions and water to proteins and nucleic acids...
متن کاملPlasmodesmata in integrated cell signalling: insights from development and environmental signals and stresses.
To survive as sedentary organisms built of immobile cells, plants require an effective intercellular communication system, both locally between neighbouring cells within each tissue and systemically across distantly located organs. Such a system enables cells to coordinate their intracellular activities and produce concerted responses to internal and external stimuli. Plasmodesmata, membrane-li...
متن کاملPES-1 is expressed during early embryogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans and has homology to the fork head family of transcription factors.
Promoter trapping has identified a gene, pes-1, which is expressed during C. elegans embryogenesis. The beta-galactosidase expression pattern, directed by the pes-1/lacZ fusion through which this gene was cloned, has been determined precisely in terms of the embryonic cell lineage and has three components. One component is in a subset of cells of the AB founder cell lineage during early embryog...
متن کاملInduction of Embryogenesis in Brassica Napus Microspores Produces a Callosic Subintinal Layer and Abnormal Cell Walls with Altered Levels of Callose and Cellulose
The induction of microspore embryogenesis produces dramatic changes in different aspects of the cell physiology and structure. Changes at the cell wall level are among the most intriguing and poorly understood. In this work, we used high pressure freezing and freeze substitution, immunolocalization, confocal, and electron microscopy to analyze the structure and composition of the first cell wal...
