The role of pectin in plant morphogenesis

Bio Systems
Robert Palin, Anja Geitmann

Abstract

The presence of a polysaccharidic cell wall distinguishes plant cells from animal cells and is responsible for fundamental mechanistic differences in organ development between the two kingdoms. Due to the presence of this wall, plant cells are unable to crawl and contract. On the other hand, plant cell size can increase by several orders of magnitude and cell shape can change from a simple polyhedron or cube to extremely intricate. This expansive cellular growth is regulated by the interaction between the cell wall and the intracellular turgor pressure. One of the principal cell wall components involved in temporal and spatial regulation of the growth process is pectin. Through biochemical changes to pectin composition and biochemical configuration, the properties of this material can be altered to trigger specific developmental processes. Here, the roles of pectin in three systems displaying rapid growth - the elongation zone of the root, the tip region of the pollen tube, and organ primordia formation at the shoot apical meristem - are reviewed.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
