Description for Transporters and Pumps in Plant Signaling
Hardback. Plants must adapt to changing environmental conditions. This volume highlights the role of transporters and pumps in the regulation of movement, long-range transport and compartmentalization of water, solutes, nutrients and classical signaling molecules. Editor(s): Geisler, Markus; Venema, Kees. Series: Signaling and Communication in Plants. Num Pages: 396 pages, 13 black & white illustrations, 27 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSTD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 826.
Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants need to efficiently adapt to changing environmental conditions during their life cycle. Nutrient acquisition from the soil has to be able to adapt to considerable fluctuations in concentrations to ensure adequate distribution between tissues, cells and organelles. The storage and retrieval of nutrients, metabolites or toxic substances in vacuoles plays an important part in cellular homeostasis in plants. The long-range transport and maintenance of turgor is critically dependent on the availability of water and rate of evaporation, while at the same time photosynthetic products have to be transported to all plant parts.
