Kinesins and myosins are motor proteins that can move actively along microtubules and
actin filaments, respectively. Plants have evolved a unique set of motors that function as …

Background Halophytes tolerate external salt concentrations of 200 mm and more,
accumulating salt concentrations of 500 mm and more in their shoots; some …

The plant-signaling molecule auxin triggers fast and slow cellular responses across land
plants and algae. The nuclear auxin pathway mediates gene expression and controls …

The interplay between myosin-and auxin-mediated processes was investigated by following
root development in the triple myosin knockout mutant xi-k xi-1 xi-2 (3KO). It was found that …

Myosin motors are essential players in secretory vesicle trafficking and exocytosis in yeast
and mammalian cells; however, similar roles in plants remain a matter for debate, at least for …
