In plants, the presence of a load-bearing cell wall presents unique challenges during division. Unlike other eukaryotes, which undergo contractile cytokinesis upon completion mitosis, plants instead synthesize and assemble new dividing to separate newly formed daughter cells. Here, we mine transcriptome data from individual types in Arabidopsis thaliana stomatal lineage identify CSLD5, member Cellulose Synthase Like-D family, as biosynthesis enzyme uniquely enriched rapidly populations. We...
In plants, root hairs undergo a highly polarized form of cell expansion called tip-growth, in which wall deposition is restricted to the hair apex. order identify essential cellular components that might have been missed earlier genetic screens, we identified conditional temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, describe one these mutants, feronia-temperature sensitive (fer-ts). Mutant fer-ts seedlings were unaffected at normal...
The Woodland Salamander genus Plethodon Tschudi, 1838, consists of terrestrial lungless salamanders, has been cited as an exemplar a lineage characterized by niche conservatism. This conclusion contributed to broader hypotheses dealing with the role conservatism in speciation and maintenance species diversity. We re-evaluated these salamanders using newly published techniques designed detect versus divergence computer-based modeling spatial analysis within phylogenetic framework....
ABSTRACT In plants, root hairs undergo a highly-polarized form of cell expansion called tip-growth, in which wall deposition is restricted to the hair apex. order identify essential cellular components that might have been missed earlier genetic screens we identified conditional temperature sensitive (ts) mutants by EMS mutagenesis. Here describe one these mutants, fer-ts ( fer onia- t emperature s ensitive ). Mutant seedlings grew normally at normal temperatures (20°C), but failed elevated...
