Abstract: | Actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in cell morphogenesis in plants as demonstrated by pharmacological,biochemical,and genetic studies.The actin cytoskeleton may be involved in the transportation of organelles and vesicles carrying membranes and cell wall components to the site of cell growth as in root hairs,trichome cells,and pollen tubes.Actins in plants are encoded by a multigene family that comprises dozens or even hundreds of actin genes. |
