10 Sphingosine-1-phosphate metabolism in mammalian cell signalling
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid metabolite implicated in the regulation of vital biological processes. Ample evidence... -
8 Biosynthesis and compartmentation of triacylglycerol in higher plants
The biosynthesis of storage lipids (triacylglycerols) in higher plants is now known to occur via a number of different routes. These include the... -
Introduction: Lipids: cellular glue...or are they more than that?
Some 40 years ago, there was a rumor in the research community that lipids are the stuff you have to throw away before starting biochemical... -
Lager brewing yeast
Lager brewing yeast is a group of closely related strains of Saccharomyces pastorianus/S. carlsbergensis used for lager beer production all over the... -
In Vitro Culture of Arabidopsis Embryos
Arabidopsis thaliana is currently the most important model organism for basic molecular plant research. It is also a favourable model for... -
Mode of Action of Plant Hormones and Plant Growth Regulators During Induction of Somatic Embryogenesis: Molecular Aspects
Plant hormones play critical roles in the establishment of somatic embryogenesis. During this process, somatic plant cells reverse their state of... -
Somatic Embryogenesis in Pinus nigra Arn.: Some Physiological, Structural and Molecular Aspects
In this chapter we summarize different aspects of Pinus nigra somatic embryogenesis including initiation, maintenance and maturation on both solid... -
Genome-Wide Expression Analysis of Genes Involved in Somatic Embryogenesis
Genome-wide expression analysis is an important tool for identifying and analysing genes involved in various biological processes, including cell... -
Somatic Embryogenesis in Chestnut
Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological tool that demonstrates significant benefits when applied to forest tree species; clonal... -
Somatic Embryogenesis in Cryptomeria japonica D. Don: Gene for Phytosulfokine (PSK) Precursor
Genetic transformation requires a reproducible system for the regeneration of plants via somatic embryogenesis or organogenesis. We established... -
Employing protein size in the functional analysis of orthologous proteins, as illustrated with the yeast HOG pathway
Comparative genomics has provided us with a new handle on the interpretation of protein sequences. The sequencing of numerous fungal genomes has... -
Molecular genetics of genotoxic stress signalling in plants
Cells are under constant threat by endogenous and exogenous factors affecting DNA integrity. In response, complex signalling networks are activated... -
Oxidative stress signalling
Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance in the generation and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells. ROS are produced during... -
3 Biogenesis and cellular dynamics of glycerophospholipids in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in other eukaryotes, glycerophospholipids are important cellular components required for growth and cell... -
9 Mechanisms and mediators of neutral lipid biosynthesis in eukaryotic cells
The reactions leading to the biosynthesis of neutral lipids are excellent targets for therapeutic intervention in several disease states including... -
4 Defects in cholesterol biosynthesis
Defects in eight different enzymes of cholesterol biosynthesis that result in serious clinical consequences have been identified. Most of these were... -
Duplication of genes and genomes in yeasts
The molecular evolution of the group of yeasts closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been profoundly affected by an ancient polyploidy... -
m1A demethylase Alkbh3 regulates neurogenesis through m1A demethylation of Mmp15 mRNA
BackgroundN 1 -Methyladenosine (m 1 A) is an abundant modification of transcripts regulating mRNA structure and translation efficiency. However, the...
