Description: Actin is an extremely abundant protein that comprises a dynamic polymeric network present in all eukaryotic cells and known as the actin cytoskeleton. The structure and function of the actin cytoskeleton is modulated by a plethora of actin-binding proteins and performs a diverse range of cellular roles. Well-documented functions for actin include: providing the molecular tracks for cytoplasmic streaming and organelle movements; formation of tethers that guide the cell plate to the division site during cytokinesis; creation of honeycomb-like arrays that enmesh and immobilize plastids in unique subcellular patterns; supporting the vesicle traffic and cytoplasmic organization essential for the directional secretory mechanism that underpins tip growth of certain cells; and coordinating the elaborate cytoplasmic responses to extra- and intracellular signals. The previous two decades have witnessed an immense accumulation of data relating to the cellular, biochemical, and molecular aspects of all these fundamental cellular processes. This prompted the editors to put together a diverse collection of topics, contributed by established international experts, related to the plant actin cytoskeleton. Because the actin cytoskeleton impinges on a multitude of processes critical for plant growth and development, as well as for responses to the environment, the book will be invaluable to any researcher, from the advanced undergraduate to the senior investigator, who is interested in these areas of plant cell biology.

Description: During the last two decades the modern techniques of histochemistry, electron microscopy, plant physiology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, immunology, and genetics have been applied to investigate the intricacies of the processes involved in embryo formation, and considerable new information has been generated. A better understanding of these processes has enhanced our capacity to manipulate fertilization and embryo development. This has changed the face of the embryology of angiosperms from a descriptive science to an experimental and applied science. The revolutionary progress made in this fascinating field of sexual reproduction was the motivation to prepare this volume. It includes 21 chapters written by experts who have made substantial contributions to their respective fields. It covers all aspects of the embryology of angiosperms, ranging from development, isolation, and structure of male and female gametes, their fusion in vivo and in vitro, and structure, physiology, and genetics of zygotic embryogenesis, to endosperm and seed development. Advances in somatic embryogenesis, synthetic seed technology and regeneration of haploid plants from male and female gametophytes are discussed. Other important topics covered in this volume are sexual incompatibility, parthenocarpy, and apomixis. The last chapter deals with the embryological perspective of inheritance of extra-nuclear genes. All the chapters contain up-to-date information and are profusely illustrated. Graduate and postgraduate students, teachers, and scientists of botany and other areas of plant sciences will find this book extremely useful.

Description: This volume is part of a series describing the comparative structure of the leaf, stem, and wood for the classification and interpretation of the ecological significance of the families of dicotyledons. It covers twenty closely related families of special interest due to their alleged primitive status in the plant family hierarchy. The second edition is completely rewritten to incorporate original observations and information recently made available, as well as a wealth of freshly prepared photographs and a comprehensive bibliography.

Description: With breakthroughs in plant tissue and cell culture in the 1980s, there has been a detectable change in attitude amongst researchers. Previously, there have been research successes with sustained cell division in callus culture, cell suspension culture, protoplast fusion and culture and production of somatic hybrids, with micropropagation only a short step away from commercial realization. These were technical "breakthroughs": ie; they had few practical or commercial applications. In the 1980s, there was a greater feeling of optimism, with the success of the integration and expression of foreign genes into plants; this process was more economically viable, but did rely upon the techniques of cell culture previously formulated. Therefore there is a need for continual research into both plant gene manipulation, and the more basic techniques of viable tissue and cell culture maintainance. This book is separated into three sections which deal with the different types of plant cell research. Section 1 deals with the methodology and types of tissue culture system, in addition to "in vitro" mutagenesis methods. Section 2 is concerned with the production of mutant plants or variant cell lines of agrigcultural or industrial interest. Section 3 places cell line selection into the context of other kinds of genetic manipulations and discusses the use of marker genes, such as those encoding for antibiotic resistance, auxotrophs and temperature sensitive mutants.

Description: Manipulation of plant architecture is regarded as a new and promising issue in plant biotechnology. Given the important role of the cytoskeleton during plant growth and development, microtubules provide an important target for biotechnological applications aiming to change plant architecture.
This book introduces some microtubule-mediated key processes that are important for plant life and amenable to manipulation by either genetic, pharmacological or morphological rationales. In the first part, the role of microtubules in plant morphogenesis is reviewed. The second part covers their role in response to environmental factors. The third part deals with the tools that can be used for biotechnological manipulation.

Description: Fungi are among the simplest of eukaryotes. Their study has provided useful paradigms for processes that are fundamental to the way in which higher cells grow, divide, establish form and shape, and communicate with one another. The majority of work has been carried out on the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but in nature unicellular fungi are greatly outnumbered by filamentous forms for which our knowledge is much less well developed. This volume focuses on the analysis of the filamentous life style, particularly on the hyphae that constitute the fungal mycelial colony. This book provides the most recent insights into the molecular genetics and physiological mechanisms underlying the elaboration of the branching mycelium and the interactions among individual fungal mycelia. This volume offers much to interest mycologists as well as those working in the fields of cell biology, developmental biology, physiology, and biochemistry.

Description: The first edition of the Anatomy of the Dicotyledons written by the late C. R. Metcalfe and L. Chalk in the 1950s has become a classic and widely cited reference. Responsibility for the second edition has been undertaken by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew where world-leading resources and specimen collections are at hand.
Volume IV of the second edition in the series provides a comprehensive account of the systematic vegetative anatomy of the 25 plant families included in the order Saxifragales according to one of the internationally recognized systems of classification. Among others, the families include Cunoniaceae, Escalloniaceae, Hydrangeaceae, Pittosporaceae, Saxifragaceae, Crassulaceae and Preseraceae. Family relationships are discussed on the basis of anatomical and other information. The work combines both original research and literature review, including an up-to-date, detailed bibliography and many original optical as well as scanning microscope micrographs. This botanical reference will be of great use to post-graduates and researchers of botany, horticulture, and plant taxonomy.
