Journal ArticleDOI
How do plants feel the heat
TL;DR: This review explores the possible involvement of different thermosensors in the plant response to warming and heat stress and the relationship between the different pathways and their hierarchical order is unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Heat Shock Response in Moss Plants Is Regulated by Specific Calcium-Permeable Channels in the Plasma Membrane
Younousse Saidi,Younousse Saidi,Andrija Finka,Maude Muriset,Zohar Bromberg,Yoram G. Weiss,Yoram G. Weiss,Frans J. M. Maathuis,Pierre Goloubinoff +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that early sensing of mild temperature increments occurs at the plasma membrane of plant cells independently from cytosolic protein unfolding, which is translated into an effective HSR by way of a specific membrane-regulated Ca2+ influx, leading to thermotolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Membrane Cyclic Nucleotide Gated Calcium Channels Control Land Plant Thermal Sensing and Acquired Thermotolerance
Andrija Finka,America Farinia Henriquez Cuendet,Frans J. M. Maathuis,Younousse Saidi,Younousse Saidi,Pierre Goloubinoff +5 more
TL;DR: This work examines the role of cyclic nucleotide gated Ca2+ channels in acquired thermotolerance in moss and seed plants, finding that thermo-responsive channels in the plasma membrane act as thermosensors that signal for the accumulation of molecular defenses, heat shock proteins in particular, setting up a transient response for thermoprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cell media on polymer coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs): Colloidal stability, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake studies
TL;DR: The data show that the choice of medium largely influences the uptake of these particles by HeLa cells, and the optimal medium is different for the different examined polymer coated SPIONs and it should be determined in each case, individually.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat perception and signalling in plants: a tortuous path to thermotolerance.
TL;DR: The key components of the heat signalling pathway are discussed and a model in which a primary sensory role is carried out by the plasma membrane and various secondary messengers is suggested, such as Ca(2+) ions, nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2).
