Basic Plant Anatomy: Roots, Stems, and Leaves02:27

Basic Plant Anatomy: Roots, Stems, and Leaves

The primary organs of vascular plants are roots, stems, and leaves, but these structures can be highly variable, adapted for the specific needs and environment of different plant species.
Introduction to Structures01:30

Introduction to Structures

A structure is defined as a system of interconnected members designed to support or transfer forces and successfully withstand the loads acting on them. The internal forces of a structure can be determined by decomposing the structure and analyzing the free-body diagrams of the individual members or of a combination of members. This helps in understanding the structural elements' behavior and ensuring that the structure is stable and can withstand the subjected loads.
There are three main...
Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...
Structure of Benzene: Kekulé Model01:07

Structure of Benzene: Kekulé Model

In 1865, August Kekule suggested the structure of benzene according to the structural theory of organic chemistry based on the three assertions—formula of benzene is C6H6, all the hydrogens of benzene are equivalent, and each carbon must have four bonds due to its tetravalency.
He proposed that benzene has a cyclic structure of six carbon atoms attached to one hydrogen atom each, with three alternating pi bonds.
Steps in the Modeling Process01:14

Steps in the Modeling Process

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
Morphogenesis02:19

Morphogenesis

Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Structural Biology
  • Plant Science

Background:

  • Mammalian ABCB1 proteins are known multidrug transporters.
  • Plant ABCB proteins exhibit narrow substrate specificity, primarily transporting the plant hormone auxin.
  • Understanding ABCB transporter structure and function is crucial for plant science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop structural models of plant ABCB proteins.
  • To identify potential substrate-binding regions within plant ABCBs.
  • To investigate the evolutionary divergence between plant and mammalian ABCBs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized crystal structures of Sav1866 and MmABCB1 as templates.
  • Developed comparative structural models of plant ABCB proteins.
  • Analyzed transmembrane domains to identify candidate substrate-binding regions.

Main Results:

  • Structural models of plant ABCB proteins were successfully developed.
  • Identified kingdom-specific candidate substrate-binding regions within the translocation chamber.
  • Results indicate an early evolutionary divergence between plant and mammalian ABCBs.

Conclusions:

  • Plant and mammalian ABCBs likely diverged early in evolution.
  • Structural models provide a basis for understanding ABCB function in plants.
  • Further validation is needed to manipulate ABCB transporters for enhanced plant productivity.
