Remorins (REMs) are proteins of unknown function specific to vascular plants. We have
used imaging and biochemical approaches and in situ labeling to demonstrate that REM …

As precursors of wax compounds, very long chain fatty acids participate in the limitation of
non-stomatal water loss and the prevention of pathogen attacks. They also serve as energy …

A cell membrane can be considered a liquid-phase plane in which lipids and proteins
theoretically are free to diffuse. Numerous reports, however, describe retarded diffusion of …

Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are essential for many aspects of plant development
and necessary for the synthesis of seed storage triacylglycerols, epicuticular waxes, and …

Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are master regulators of cell signaling, but how
they are regulated depending on the cellular context is unclear. We found that the …

The existence of sphingolipid- and sterol-enriched microdomains, known as lipid rafts, in the
plasma membrane (PM) of eukaryotic cells is well documented. To obtain more insight into …

Membrane surface charge is critical for the transient, yet specific recruitment of proteins with
polybasic regions to certain organelles. In eukaryotes, the plasma membrane (PM) is the …

Lipids tend to organize in mono or bilayer phases in a hydrophilic environment. While they
have long been thought to be incapable of coherent lateral segregation, it is now clear that …

Aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery are rare but can be responsible for
severe complications such as rupture, thrombosis, or embolism. Between 1961 and 1985 we …

The directional surface temperatures over urban areas are measured using an airborne TIR
camera equipped with wide-angle lenses. The experimental design is described and the …
