TL;DR: The identification and characterization of a new skeletal muscle protein containing a PDZ domain that binds to the COOH-terminal region of alpha-actinin-2 is reported, and this novel 31-kD protein is specifically expressed in heart and skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: It is shown that nitric oxide affects mitochondrial functionality in plant cells and reduces total cell respiration due to strong inhibition of the cytochrome pathway and modifications are associated with depolarisation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cy tochrome c from mitochondria, suggesting a conserved signalling pathway in plants and animals.

TL;DR: High concentrations of cytokinins block cell proliferation and induce programmed cell death (PCD) in both carrot and Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures and two hormones, namely abscisic acid and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), protect cells against the cytokinin-induced death.

TL;DR: A component of the thylakoid membrane, the two-pore potassium (K+) channel TPK3, which modulates the composition of the proton motive force through ion counterbalancing is described, which manages the pmf necessary to convert photochemical energy into physiological functions.

TL;DR: A protocol for efficient transient transformations of selected grapevine cultivars is developed by combining different genotypes and physiological conditions and promises to be a powerful tool to perform subcellular localization analyses.
