Dynamin-Related Proteins in Plant Endocytosis
Over the past decade, it has become evident that multiple endocytic pathways operate in eukaryotic cells, and several of these are dependent on...
-
Molecular Dissection of the Clathrin-Endocytosis Machinery in Plants
In the last few years, the endocytic vesicular uptake in plant cells has gained increasing significance in several physiological processes....
-
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis in Plants
Binding of ligands activates cell-surface receptors and triggers a series of signalling events. The activation of the receptors accelerates their...

Endocytosis and Endosymbiosis
Symbioses are widespread in nature and occur between organisms that belong to a large variety of taxonomic divisions (Hentschel et al. 2000). Most...

Endocytic Uptake of Nutrients, Cell Wall Molecules and Fluidized Cell Wall Portions into Heterotrophic Plant Cells
After arrival at the surface of heterotrophic cells, nutrients are taken up by these cells via endocytosis to sustain metabolic processes. Recent...

Algae Cultivation Systems
Algae are a diverse group of micro- and macroscopic, highly efficient photosynthetic organisms with rapid growth and flourish in a variety of...
-
Omics Approaches for Algal Applications
Algae grow faster due to their higher photosynthetic efficiency than terrestrial plants, making them more productive. Assimilating carbon dioxide and...
