Subject:
plant development,   etc   ; Utricularia; carnivorous plants; models;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... The carnivorous plant Utricularia gibba forms cup-shaped leaflets to capture prey. Whitewoods et al. (2020) use computational modeling to simulate the formation of the trap’s 3D geometry. Directional expansion of the young leaflet is proposed to be a crucial morphogenetic driver, pointing at a fundamental principle of plant development. ...

plant development,   etc   ; models; tissues;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... The formation of spatial and temporal patterns is an essential component of organismal development. Patterns can be observed on every level from subcellular to organismal and may emerge from local rules that correspond to the interactions between molecules, cells, or tissues. The emergence of robust patterns may seem in contradiction with the prominent heterogeneity at subcellular and cellular sca ...

Abstract:
... Phospholipids are major building blocks of cell membranes and as such they have a key structural role in maintaining their integrity as a hydrophobic barrier. However, phospholipids not only have structural but also regulatory functions that are involved in a myriad of signaling pathways. Integrative approaches in plants recently revealed that certain phospholipids have distinct patterns of accumu ...

Abstract:
... The circadian clock is a genetic circuit that allows organisms to anticipate daily events caused by the rotation of the Earth. The plant clock regulates physiology at multiple scales, from cell division to ecosystem-scale interactions. It is becoming clear that rather than being a single perfectly synchronised timer throughout the plant, the clock can be sensitive to different cues, run at differe ...

Abstract:
... Development requires precise cell positioning and tissue organization to generate functional organs and viable organisms. Plant development depends on precisely oriented cell divisions, which are typically classified as either asymmetric or symmetric. Asymmetric (formative) cell divisions give rise to cells with two distinct fates; resulting daughter cells often have different sizes or shapes. Sym ...
