Publications
Immunolocalization of actin in root statocytes of Lens culinaris LD Driss-Ecole
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Laboratoire CEMV, Paris, France
J Exp Bot 51:521-8. 2000..The vicinity of actin and of the amyloplasts envelope could account for the movement of these organelles that was observed in spatial microgravity...
Lentil root statoliths reach a stable state in microgravityD Driss-Ecole
Laboratoire CEMV, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France
Planta 211:396-405. 2000..Brownian motion or elastic forces due to endoplasmic reticulum membranes do not cause the movement of the amyloplasts in microgravity. It is concluded that the force transporting the statoliths is caused by the actomyosin system...
A polarized cell: the root statocyteDominique Driss-Ecole
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Laboratoire CEMV, Paris Cedex, France
Physiol Plant 118:305-12. 2003..These observations could help in understanding how slight amyloplast movements may trigger and transmit the gravitropic signal...
Gravisensitivity and automorphogenesis of lentil seedling roots grown on board the International Space StationDominique Driss-Ecole
Laboratoire CEMV, Site d Ivry Le Raphaël, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris Cedex 05, France
Physiol Plant 134:191-201. 2008..Gravisensing by statoliths should be possible at such a low level of acceleration because the actomyosin system could provide the necessary work to overcome the activation energy for gravisensing...
Contributions of space experiments to the study of gravitropismGerald Perbal
Laboratoire CEMV, Universite Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France
J Plant Growth Regul 21:156-65. 2002..However, the curvature of roots or of coleoptiles that takes place in microgravity can be greatly reduced by straightening the extremity of the organs...
Mechanotransduction in root gravity sensing cellsGerald Perbal
Laboratoire CEMV, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France
Physiol Plant 120:303-11. 2004..They could be stimulated by the action of statoliths on the actin network and/or on these elements of the cytoskeleton which link the mechanoreceptors (SACs)...
Mechanotransduction in gravisensing cellsGerald Perbal
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, 4 place Jussieu, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France
Trends Plant Sci 8:498-504. 2003..Many questions remain to be solved but recent studies now herald a better understanding of the molecular events involved in gravisensing...
