Apoptosis in barley aleurone during germination and its inhibition by abscisic acid
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the regulation of DNA fragmentation in aleurone plays a very important role in spatial and temporal control of aleur one activities during germination and during protoplast isolation.

Modulation of germination of embryos isolated from dormant and nondormant barley grains by manipulation of endogenous abscisic acid
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that diffusion of endogenous ABA, de-novo ABA synthesis and ABA sensitivity play a role in the control of germination and it is proposed that dormancy-breaking treatments act via changes to these processes.

Cell membrane stretch in osteoclasts triggers a self-reinforcing Ca2+ entry pathway
TL;DR: Evidence is presented showing that such responses involve a self-reinforcing mechanism including SA channel activity, Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa)Channel activity, membrane potential changes and local and general intracellular Ca 2+ ([Ca2+]i) increases, and it is suggested that this Ca1+entry mechanism plays a role in regulation of osteoclast activity.

Independent control of locomotion and orientation during Dictyostelium discoideum chemotaxis
TL;DR: The results imply that locomotion and orientation during Dictyostelium chemotaxis are independently regulated.
Laser microsurgery: a versatile tool in plant (electro) physiology
TL;DR: The wall of specialized cells from three higher plant species and one unicellular alga were perforated using the focussed UV light of a nitrogen laser and a dye was used that binds specifically to cell wall components to enhance the absorption of the UV light by the walls.
