Essential processes in biology such as cell and nuclear division,
development, intracellular transport and physiological response,
rely on the perception of environmental and intracellular signals
and their transduction to subcellular targets. The mechanisms by
which these signals are received by cells and transduced towards
the proper targets by cytoskeletal components constitute one of the
most important and rapidly developing areas in modern plant
biology. In addition, fundamentally important responses of plants
to biotic and abiotic factors also involve signalling to and
through the cytoskeleton, which helps explain the current interest
of biotechnology in this field of fundamental research.
Manipulation of cytoskeletal components, the microtubules and
microfilaments, had, until recently, not been a priority issue for
plant biotechnology. However, given the fundamental role of the
cytoskeleton during plant growth and development, the potential for
biotechnological applications is immense. The NATO Advanced
Research Workshop, "The Plant Cytoskeleton: Genomic and
Bioinformatic Tools for Biotechnology and Agriculture" was held in
Yalta, Ukraine, from September 19 to 23, 2006 - which continued the
tradition of the first two International Symposia "Plant
Cytoskeleton: Molecular Keys for Biotechnology" (Yalta, Ukraine,
1998) and "The Plant Cytoskeleton: functional diversity and
biotechnological implications" (Kiev, Ukraine, 2002).
