Cytokinesis in higher plants

Article Abstract:

Cytokinesis is initiated by cytoskeleton assisted targeted delivery of membrane vesicles to the plane of cell division, followed by local membrane fusion to generate tubolo-vesicular networks. The initial phase of cytokinesis is essentially the same in diverse modes of plant cytokinesis whereas the subsequent transformation of the tubulo- vesicular networks into the partitioning membrane may be different between systems.

Self-incompatibility in plants

Article Abstract:

Advances in the understanding of three distinct self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms, such as, Brassicaceae, Solanaceae-type SI and Papaveraceae, each controlled by two separate determinant genes at the S-locus are discussed. This leads to greater understanding of how flowering plants discriminate self/nonself during fertilization and highlights the processes used by plants for cell-cell communication.

Evolution of flavors and scents

Article Abstract:

The evolution of several gene families that are responsible for controlling production of many compounds that are important for the flavor and scents that are widely associated with plants is discussed. The production of scent and flavor compounds in a few selected species is explained in order to conclude about the evolution of these gene families in the plant kingdom.
