Actin is an extremely abundant protein that comprises a dynamic
polymeric network present in all eukaryotic cells, known as the
actin cytoskeleton. The structure and function of the actin
cytoskeleton, which is modulated by a plethora of actin-binding
proteins, performs a diverse range of cellular roles.
Well-documented functions for actin include: providing the
molecular tracks for cytoplasmic streaming and organelle movements;
formation of tethers that guide the cell plate to the division site
during cytokinesis; creation of honeycomb-like arrays that enmesh
and immobilize plastids in unique subcellular patterns; supporting
the vesicle traffic and cytoplasmic organization essential for the
directional secretory mechanism that underpins tip growth of
certain cells; and coordinating the elaborate cytoplasmic responses
to extra- and intracellular signals. The previous two decades have
witnessed an immense accumulation of data relating to the cellular,
biochemical, and molecular aspects of all these fundamental
cellular processes. This prompted the editors to put together a
diverse collection of topics, contributed by established
international experts, related to the plant actin cytoskeleton.
Because the actin cytoskeleton impinges on a multitude of processes
critical for plant growth and development, as well as for responses
to the environment, the book will be invaluable to any researcher,
from the advanced undergraduate to the senior investigator, who is
interested in these areas of plant cell biology.
