The other classes of inhibitors for ergosterol biosynthesis, terbinafine and amorolfin, also caused the transition. These findings implicated the function of ergosterol for filamentous growth. Although depolarized cell growth was observed to precede filamentation during the process of ethanol-induced pseudohyphal formation in this organism, no distinct depolarization was found to occur during the process induced by these antifungal compounds.","PeriodicalId":279979,"journal":{"name":"Plant Morphology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122124040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the mutants were isolated over100years ago, and recorded in colored woodblock printings. The mutants were later analyzed from the view point of modern plant genetics. The author recently observed some of them. With the knowledge of the reported genetical analysis and the present anatomical observation, the mutants appeared in the old woodblock paintings were classified into seven groups. These mutations seem difficult to be explained through the ABC model. Many of the genes involved in the P. nil flower morphology has a characteristics of pleiotropism, that is, some mutations accompany with dwarfism, reduced apical dominance, narrow- or curled-leaved phenotype. The fact that the flower morphogenesis cannot be explained through the ABC model suggests that some new genes with an unreported function regarding flower morphogenesis could be isolated. If the morphology of flower, leaf and stem is analyzed simultaneously, taking the p leiotropism advantage, the common mechanism of morphogenesis may be clarified.","PeriodicalId":279979,"journal":{"name":"Plant Morphology","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124760636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrated that a BFA-induced retrograde transport from the Golgi bodies to the ER occurred not only in mammalian cells but also in plant cells.In these two algae, the retrograde transport in the presence of BFA occurred in the interphase cells but not in dividing cells. We further investigated which cytoskeleton participated in this BFA-induced retrogradetransport in S. acutus. The results demonstrate that actin filaments directly mediate the BFA-induced retrograde transport of vesicles. This mechanism differs from that found in mammalian cells, in which microtubules mediate BFA-induced retrograde transport.","PeriodicalId":279979,"journal":{"name":"Plant Morphology","volume":"42 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125750841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the location where secretory and transmembrane proteins are folded. Dysfunction or overwork of the ER, which is mostly accompanied by ER accumulation of unfolded client proteins, leads to transcriptional induction of proteins that work in and/or for the ER. This cellular event, known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), is observed in a wide variety of eukaryotic species, and its mechanism has been mainly uncovered through studies using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a simple model organism. The intracellular signaling pathway of the UPR contains various remarkable features, which include the involvement of regulatory splicing of transcription-factor mRNAs that is performed by the ER-located transmembrane endoribonuclease Ire1 in the cytoplasm. In this article, we describe our current understanding about Ire1 and the UPR in cells of S. cerevisiae and other eukaryotic species including plants.","PeriodicalId":279979,"journal":{"name":"Plant Morphology","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127901512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
