Plant morphology

Research Group

Lifecycle:1 Oct 2003 →  31 Aug 2008
Organisation profile:The cellular basis of elongation and the control of elongation in cells of seed plants. Different aspects are being studied in structure/function relationships. Apoplastic features are cell wall architecture, the biomechanics of cell walls and the enzymatic remodelling of the wall during cell expansion. Symplastic features are the cytoskeleton, nuclear metabolism and the remodelling of cell membranes and organelles.
Keywords:SEED DEVELOPMENT, CYTOSKELETON, MEMBRANES, CELL EXPANSION, CELL WALL
Disciplines:General biology, Plant biology
