Download or read book Plant Membranes written by Y.Y. Leshem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plasma membrane is at once the window through which the cell senses the environment and the portal through which the environment influences the structure and activities of the cell. Its importance in cellular physiology can thus hardly be overestimated, since constant flow of materials between cell and environment is essential to the well-being of any biological system. The nature of the materials mov ing into the cell is also critical, since some substances are required for maintenance and growth, while others, because of their toxicity, must either be rigorously excluded or permitted to enter only after chemical alteration. Such alteration frequently permits the compounds to be sequestered in special cellular compartments having different types of membranes. This type of homogeneity, plus the fact that the wear and tear of transmembrane molecular traffic compels the system to be constantly monitored and repaired, means that the membrane system of any organism must be both structurally complex and dy namic. Membranes have been traditionally difficult to study because of their fragility and small diameter. In the last several decades, however, remarkable advances have been made because of techniques permit ting the bulk isolation of membranes from homogenized cells. From such isolated membranes have come detailed physical and chemical analyses that have given us a detailed working model of membrane. We now can make intelligent guesses about the structural and func tional interactions of membrane lipids, phospholipids, proteins, sterols and water.

Download or read book Cell Components written by Hans-Ferdinand Linskens and published by Springer. This book was released on 1985-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in Modern Methods of Plant Analysis, New Series deals with cell components and organelles. In contrast to many other publications on cell fractionation, it begins with chapters on the cell wall, the structure that sets most plant cells apart from animal and bacterial cells and that made studies of plant cell components extremely difficult until the advent of protoplast formation by enzymatic breakdown of the cell wall. Perhaps the most significant breakthrough in plant cell fractionation, protoplast formation is dealt with in the third chapter, following a chapter on the use of "markers" in cell fractionation. All the major cell components and organelles are covered in turn, and the suitability of each method for analytical or preparative use is indicated. This volume provides an extremely useful foundation for later volumes in the series.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the series, on "The Stability of the Differentiated State" received many favorable reviews from the scientific community. Many readers seem to agree with us that publication of topical volumes is a worthwhile alternative to periodic compilations of rather unrelated, though up-to-date reviews. Production of topical volumes is however, plagued with one great difficulty, that of "author synchronization". This difficulty explains the lag between volumes 1 and 2 of the series. Nevertheless we hope that the present volume will be appreciated as a valuable source of information on its central topic: How do cell organelles originate, and what mechanisms assure their continuity?

Download or read book Cellular Membranes in Development written by Michael Locke and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular Membranes in Development covers the proceedings of the 1963 22nd Symposium on ""The Society for the Study of Development and Growth"" held in Storrs, Connecticut. This book is organized into 10 chapters that discuss the properties, isolation, function, composition, and physiological aspects of membranes. After briefly dealing with the principles of the unit membrane concept, the book describes the properties of lipid membranes of bilayer thickness with biological relevance. The next chapter focuses on hepatic cell and the modifications of the endoplasmic reticulum in cell differentiation in normal and cancerous growth. Another chapter describes the developmental changes in a particular experimental systems and the modification of the membranes by specific treatments using the apical portion of the primary root of Zea mays. The book also discusses the role of the different organelles in development, supporting the idea of topological continuity between the membranes of all the organelles except the mitochondria. Other chapters describe the cytology of oogenesis and fertilization in Pteridium aquilinum; the early events of fertilization in Hydroides and Saccoglossus; and the composition of cell walls of bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Some aspects of the capsules, microcapsules, and sheaths exhibited by some microorganisms are also covered. The last chapters deal with the quantitative aspects of plant cell permeation and permeability function and changes in relation to maturation and growth hormones. The book is an ideal source for cell biologists and researchers, evolutionists, and biochemists.
Download or read book Plant Cell Compartments selected Topics written by Benoît Schoefs and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membranes separate the interior medium from the exterior. Obviously, separation does not mean isolation and the membranes, as we can see them at present, act as selective filters across which different types of compounds such as salts, waste, nutriments, nucleotides, etc are transported. Depending on the molecule to be transported several ways can be used. How nucleotides are transported through the thylakoid membranes to the lumen and used in the chloroplast is the aim of the chapter by Drs. Spetea and Thuswaldner, while that of Drs. Paulilo and Falkenkrog reviews the composition of nuclear pores that mediate all the traffic between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In which ways, during evolution, the first cells were formed and how the different compartments appeared remain as tremendously exciting questions, but so far unsolved in many cases. Several theories have been proposed. The best known is that proposed by Margulis (1970), according to which an ancestral anaerobic prokaryote would become able to ingest solid particles such as other prokaryotes. In some cases the ingested bacteria continued to live and have evolved to give different types of membranes that eukaryotic cells contain today. This theory, also called the endosymbiotic theory, explains the origin of both the chloroplasts and the mitochondria, two major organelles of plant cells. More recently, another symbiotic theory has been proposed by Martin and Müller (1998) to explain the origin of mitochondria. While the contribution by Dr. Bizanz and collaborators traces back the unexpected fate of plastids in today's prokaryotic parasites of animal cells, the chapters by Drs. Solymosi and Schoefs, Dr. Chamarovsky and collaborators and, Dr. Rohacek and collaborators are dedicated to the biogenesis and functioning of the chloroplast membranes. The way of differentiation of the other organelles and cell compartments remain so far as unanswered questions. The search for analoguous compartments in lower organisms may provide the first elements of an answer. The chapter by Dr. H. Guo enters in this frame and offers a good example for the existence of a putative, so far unrevealed compartment analogue to the higher plant vacuole in cyanobacteria. The plant cell turgor is maintained thanks to the functioning of two typical compartments of plant cells i.e. the cell-wall and the vacuole, but these compartments play other important roles in plant physiology. The chapters by Dr. El Gharras and Dr. Martinez on the accumulation of betalain pigments in vacuoles and strawberry cell-wall softening, respectively, illustrate these aspects of the field. Even if plant cells are surrounded by a thick and rigid cell-wall, their interior is highly dynamic: the organelles are able to move. The contribution by Dr. Foissner analyzes the dynamic of mitochondria in Chara internodal cells. In contrast to animals, plants cannot escape from adverse conditions. Consequently, they have developed strategies to survive to biotic or/and abiotic stresses. In this book the description of the answers of plants to several stresses are the aim of some chapters. While the contribution by Dr. Ben Khaled and collaborators reports on the peroxidase activity in palm plantlets inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the presence of biocontrol agents, the chapter by Dr. Dumas-Gaudot and collaborators, describes the modifications in the protein composition occuring during the differentiation of the arbuscules. The formation of the arbuscule is accompanied by a redistribution of the colonized root cell organelles around the arbuscule and by a dramatic change in the plastid metabolism allowing them to produce secondary metabolites, including secondary carotenoid and apocarotenoid molecules (chapter by Dr. Fester). Abiotic stresses, such as nitrogen deficiency, are also able to trigger the production of secondary carotenoids. Dr. Lemoine and collaborators review such a strategy in green algae. Because secondary carotenoids are usually high added value compounds, the knowledge about the functioning of the different compartments in such a production is also of great importance for the economic side of plant science s.l. How chloroplasts cope with heavy metals is discussed in the chapter by Dr. Poirier and collaborators. During the last years, new technical tools such as confocal imaging became more popular. Their use revealed the presence of new compartments, sometimes being divided into subtle sub-compartments. The intention of this book is to bring together a serie of outstanding contributions dealing with the biosynthesis, content, distribution, function, and physiology of various plant cell compartments. By combining the major contributions in this book, I wished to contribute to the propagation of the recent developments in plant cell biochemistry and physiology, to the discovery of the wonderful plant world and, also, to mutual exchange of ideas. Without the excellent work of the different authors, who have taken great care to present an up-to-date review of their field and 'Research Signpost' as the commercial editor, this book could not have been produced. I wish to dedicate this book to the different mentors in Belgium, Czech Republic and France, who showed me the scientific way and, also to my wife for her everlasting support to me.

This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membrane Research: Classic Origins and Current Concepts is a special volume of the International Review of Cytology dedicated to Dr. Danielli on the occasion of his retirement from official duties. The central theme of the volume is membranes. The diversity of topics ranges from the biogenesis of membranes and their components, to the use of optical and lectin probes as a means to study the structure, physiology, and interactions of cell components and organelles in plant and animal systems. The book begins with a study on the cell surface of the mammalian embryo and the events associated with the formation of the differentiated blastocyst. This is followed by separate chapters on the structural associations between the inner and outer bacterial membrane; the interactions of cell wall and membrane in plant cells; the morphological and functional aspects of membranes; and methods for studying the physiology of cell and organelles at the membrane level. Subsequent chapters deal with the synthesis of cellular proteins and glycoproteins; techniques for fixing and preserving the ultrastructure of the membrane; the synthesis of artificial organelles; and the effects of drugs and chemicals on membrane transport utilizing kidney tissue and vesicles. This book provides an outstanding reference source for all scientific researchers and teachers.
