In flowering plants, pollen tubes undergo a journey that starts in the stigma and ends in the ovule with the delivery of the sperm cells to achieve double fertilization. The pollen cell wall plays an essential role to ...

Tissue remodeling is essential for lateral root (LR) emergence. Many studies have focused on the role of auxin in this process but little is known about cytokinin (CK) relevance. AZG2 is an auxin regulated CK transporter, ...

The basic hemodynamic abnormality in hypertension is an increased peripheral resistance that is due mainly to a decreased vascular lumen derived from structural changes in the small arteries wall, named (as a whole) vascular ...

In animal systems extracellular vesicles (EV) are known to transport cargo molecules from the cytoplasm to the extracellular compartment and they are the accepted vehicles for unconventional protein secretion. Plants have ...

Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is required for many physiological and pathological processes. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases which are able to degrade different components of the ECM and nucleus matrix ...

Early in infection, pathogens encounter the outer wall of plant cells. Because pathogen hydrolases targeting the plant cell wall are well-known components of virulence, it has been assumed that wall disassembly by the plant ...
