The Cytoskeleton of the Algae. 1992. Illustr. XI,453 p. gr8vo.Hardcover.

Providescomprehensive examination of cytoskeleton in phylogenetic branchesof algae, analyzes possible functions of components using structural,physiological, genetic, and molecular approaches. Many unique structuraland motility phenomena are described for the first time, along withpolarity, cytoplasmic streaming, mitosis, cell wall deposition, andcontractile events. - Contents (partly): The Microarchitecture of theChrosophycean Cytoskeleton/ The Dinoflagellate Cytoskeleton/ TheCytoskeleton in the Diatoms: The Mitotic Spindle and Cell CycleDependent Organization/ The Cytoskeleton in Euglenoids; Cell Form,Surface Motility, and Cell Replication are Based on a Membrane Skeletonof Repeating Strips/ Role of the Cytoskeleton in Cellular Morphogenesisof Zygotes of Fucoid Algae/ Cytoskeleton and Mitotic Spindle in RedAlgae/ The Cytoskeleton in the Desmidiaceae - Cell Morphogenesis/Cytoskeleton-Based Nuclear Translocation in Desmids/ MicrotubulesControlling Cellulose Deposition?
