Signaling-dependent cytoskeletal dynamics and plant cell growth

In all eukaryotic cells, the cytoskeleton is an essential protein-based matrix that determines the cell’s internal order. Building a cell requires necessarily an organizational support able to provide the order and thus to regulate the various cellular functions. Classically, the cytoskeleton comprises a heterogeneous group of proteins that interact with each other to form a dynamic network that adapts to the different physiological conditions of cells. The cytoskeleton receives information as decoded by the signal transduction system and conveys them in a response that might include the moving of specific cellular components, cell division or changes in cell shape
