Matricellular proteins are a set of non-structural extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, mainly including thrombospondins (TSPs), OPN, tenascins, SPARC, POSTN and CCNs, which do not exert a primary role in tissue architecture but regulate similar biological functions in response to external stimuli during embryonic development, tissue injury, inflammation and tumor progression (Bornstein, 1995).
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06620.002 The sessile nature of plants necessitates that they modulate most aspects of their growth and development in response to external conditions.
Therefore the differential expression patterns of expansins suggest that each expansin member may play a specific role in root growth and development, and in response to external stimuli.
These data suggest that LIF2 participates in robust floral development in response to external conditions and in cell fate decision.
The variation in growth, development and metabolism in response to external cues has been documented, but is not often considered in the actual production of horticultural crops.
The cellular content of mitochondria changes dynamically during development and in response to external stimuli, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure.
The requirement that the robot trajectory be continually modifiable on-line in response to external sensor data is addressed with the development of a temporal gait control strategy.
Biological pathways are dynamic and behave only in certain ways and controlled manners during development and in response to external factors [17], [22], [32].
As potent regulatory components involved in gene regulation from various aspects, lncRNAs can exert their effects during tissue development and in response to external stimuli [20].
For example, the abundance of tRNA may vary during development and in response to external stimuli, suggesting that codon bias may represent an adaptive response to tRNA levels that differ among plant tissues.
A large number of gene targets, including immune response related genes that are affected by CHD1 and H1 are not constitutively active but instead are strongly regulated in development or in response to external stimuli.
