Organelles compartmentalize eukaryotic cells, enhancing their ability to respond to
environmental and developmental changes. One way in which organelles communicate and …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has a broad localization throughout the cell and forms
direct physical contacts with all other classes of membranous organelles, including the …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Acute metabolic changes in plasma membrane (PM) lipids, such as those mediating
signalling reactions, are rapidly compensated by homeostatic responses whose molecular …

Anionic phospholipids, which include phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and
phosphoinositides, represent a small percentage of membrane lipids. They are able to …

The importance of wound healing to medicine and biology has long been evident, and
consequently, wound healing has been the subject of intense investigation for many years …

The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to
adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

Plant cell membranes are the sites of sensing and initiation of rapid responses to changing
environmental factors including salinity stress. Understanding the mechanisms involved in …

Endoplasmic reticulum–plasma membrane contact sites (ER–PM CS) play fundamental
roles in all eukaryotic cells. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking the ER–PM protein tether …
