About This Book
The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, 3rd Edition
Cell Motility and Behavior (Volume 3)
The gold-standard reference?introducing this multidisciplinary science,?fully revised and updated with the latest discoveries
Originally published as the standalone Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, then expanded as the third volume in a three-part comprehensive gold-standard reference,?The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook: Cell Motility and Behavior has been fully revised and updated to include the wealth of new resources for the Chlamydomonas community. Reflecting the significant advancement in?the understanding of the role of basal bodies and cilia play in human diseases, this volume employs quantitative proteomics and mass spectroscopy as well as?cryo?EM tomography and single particle?cryo?EM. Other topics such as current insights?on?mitosis and cytokinesis, ciliary assembly and motility, intraflagellar?transport, and more help build an understanding of human diseases of the cilium.
Cell Motility and Behavior presents the latest in research and best practices, making this a must-have resource for researchers and students working in plant science and photosynthesis, fertility, mammalian vision, and biochemistry; crop scientists; plant physiologists; and plant, molecular, and human disease biologists.
- Provides an essential reference to a model species for the study of mechanisms of motility in free living cells?
- Includes methods for Chlamydomonas motility research?
- Includes a table listing the known proteins (with NCBI accession numbers) for each structure discussed, and the known mutations that affect each structure and process
