Generally, in susceptible plants, the main DBM-affected genes are those engaged in nutrient, amino acid, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, and photosynthetic processes.
The major groups represented in the DBM-affected genes are those engaged in photosynthesis, nutrient processes, amino acid, lipid and carbohydrate transport and metabolism.
These results suggest that deprivation of other nutrients could also engage the Noxa/Mcl-1 apoptotic axis.
When nutrients are plentiful, cells engage key programs to increase their size and mass, whereas a dearth of nutrients triggers opposing programs that release much-needed cellular building blocks to maintain homeostasis.
For instance, under nutrient-limiting conditions cells can engage in pseudohyphal growth and invasion of the substratum, perhaps as a method of "foraging" for nutrients.
Thus, PGC-1α is likely an integration point in VSMCs for nutrient signals, which are likely to engage different signaling pathways upstream of PGC-1α.
Both the availability and the type of nutrients thus affect whether producer cells engage in chemical warfare or refrain from it.
Within one cage, for example, mice will engage in coprophagy in order to obtain additional nutrients from fecal matter (Soave and Brand, 1991).
Intestinal epithelial cells engage in various activities such as the absorption of dietary nutrients and their metabolites and providing physical and biological barriers to gut microbiota, antigens, and xenobiotics.
The fungus and the roots normally engage in an underground partnership to improve the pull of water and nutrients from the soil.
