Recent Advances in Understanding Plant Hormone Transporters
Since the first postulation of auxin function by the Darwins, many other plant hormones have been identified and most of them have been found to be synthesized at different sites from their places of action. Hormone transport and thus the responsible hormone transporters are therefore essential for a precise regulation of plant hormone action, which has been repeatedly supported by severe developmental and physiological phenotypes reported for hormone transporter loss-of-function mutants. Plant transporters have been shown to be involved in short and long-distance transport of hormones. Short-distance transport between cells seems to be sufficient for a local hormone action in some tissues (...
A Companion to Italian Cinema
Written by leading figures in the field, A Companion to Italian Cinema re-maps Italian cinema studies, employing new perspectives on traditional issues, and fresh theoretical approaches to the exciting history and field of Italian cinema. Offers new approaches to Italian cinema, whose importance in the post-war period was unrivalled Presents a theory based approach to historical and archival material Includes work by both established and more recent scholars, with new takes on traditional critical issues, and new theoretical approaches to the exciting history and field of Italian cinema Covers recent issues such as feminism, stardom, queer cinema, immigration and postcolonialism, self-reflexivity and postmodernism, popular genre cinema, and digitalization A comprehensive collection of essays addressing the prominent films, directors and cinematic forms of Italian cinema, which will become a standard resource for academic and non-academic purposes alike
Evolution of transporters in plants
In the past decade, many plant genomes have been completely sequenced ranging from unicellular alga to trees. This rich resource of information raises questions like: How did specific transporters evolve as early plants adapted to dry land? How did the evolution of transporters in monocot plants differ from that in dicots? What are the functional orthologs in food and energy crops of transporters characterized in model plants? How do we name the new genes/proteins? Phylogenetic analyses of transport proteins will shed light on these questions and potentially reveal novel insights for future studies to understand plant nutrition, stress tolerance, biomass production, signaling and development.
The A to Z of Italian Cinema
The Italian cinema is regarded as one of the great pillars of world cinema. Films like Ladri di biciclette (1948), La dolce vita (1960), and Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1988) attracted unprecedented international acclaim and a reputation, which only continue to grow. Italian cinema has produced such acting legends as Sophia Loren and Roberto Benigni, as well as world-renowned filmmakers like Federico Fellini, Sergio Leone, Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and Lina WertmYller, the first woman to ever be nominated for the Best Director award. The A to Z of Italian Cinema provides a better understanding of the role Italian cinema has played in film history through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, appendixes, black-&-white photos, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on actors, actresses, movies, producers, organizations, awards, film credits, and terminology.
The Cinema of Francesco Rosi
Francesco Rosi is one of the great realist artists of post-war Italian, indeed post-war world cinema. In this book, author Gaetana Marrone explores the rich visual language in which the Neapolitan filmmaker expresses the cultural icons that constitute his style and images. Over the years, Rosi has offered us films that trace an intricate path between the real and the fictive, the factual and the imagined. His films show an extraordinarily consistent formal balance while representing historical events as social emblems that examine, shape, and reflect the national self. They rely on a labyrinthine narrative structure, in which the sense of an enigma replaces the unidirectional path leading in...
Tonino Valerii
Tonino Valerii is one of Italy's best genre film directors. Starting out as Sergio Leone's assistant on For a Few Dollars More (1965), he went on to direct spaghetti westerns that stand out among the most accomplished in their class--Day of Anger (1967), The Price of Power (1969), A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die! (1972) and My Name Is Nobody (1973). He also directed the outstanding giallo My Dear Killer (1972). This book examines Valerii's life and career in depth for the first time, with exclusive interviews with the filmmaker, scriptwriters and actors, and critical analysis of his films.
Amori della zia
"Non basta una vita per imparare a volersi un po' di bene." Mara Era la "stracciarola" più famosa di Roma. La sua bottega di vestiti usati si trovava nei pressi di Campo dei Fiori. Erano gli anni Settanta, e nessuno immaginava che Mara Venier sarebbe diventata ciò che è oggi: una delle personalità più scoppiettanti della tv italiana. In questo libro Mara racconta com'è andata. Ma attenzione: il lettore non si aspetti una classica autobiografia! Questo no, non è quel tipo di libro. Si tratta piuttosto di un libero girovagare tra luoghi, personaggi e aneddoti della sua vita, tra i quali emergono prepotentemente le memorie dell'infanzia: Mara, veneziana di nascita, cresce a Mestre in un ...
Nei panni di un'altra
In un gioco di flashback che inizia con l'arresto del primo marito, Angelo Rizzoli, e procede a ritroso, e a specchio, fino ai giorni nostri, con la storia della sua vita densa di eventi non comuni, Eleonora Giorgi racconta anche, con sconcertante sincerità e una lucidità rara e preziosa, episodi e circostanze privati e professionali inediti e talvolta persino scabrosi, ma ci svela molto di più. La sua vicenda personale incrocia infatti, nello scorrere del tempo, tanti personaggi della cultura e della classe dirigente italiana - dal cinema al giornalismo, all'arte, all'imprenditoria, alla letteratura - di cui tratteggia brevi ricordi, e parla anche di evoluzione dei costumi, di emancipazione femminile e dei drammatici accadimenti politico-giudiziari che travolsero allora la Casa editrice del marito e la sua stessa vita. Una biografia intensa, in cui la qualità letteraria e la capacità narrativa di Eleonora Giorgi non sono elementi secondari.
