Neural crest cells that follow a dorso-lateral route of migration under the skin will become melanocytes; how is their differentiation into melanocytes triggered during their migration?

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. The neural crest cells are already determined to become melanocytes before they leave the neural tube
  2. N-cadherin and E-cadherin are lost from the neural crest cells when they initiate their migration, and this signals the cells to become melanocytes.
  3. BMP and noggin control the fate of neural crest cells.
  4. The cells in the skin express a ligand (stem cell factor, SCF, also known as Steel) on their surface, which interacts with a receptor (Kit, also known as white spotting) on the surface of the neural crest derived cells; this interaction triggers their differentiation as melanocytes.

Companion cells transport of photosynthetic products from producing cells in mature leaves to the sieve elements in the minor veins of the leaf. There are at least three different types of companion cells in the minor veins of mature, exporting leaves, All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria;

companion cells in minor veins of mature leaves. All three cell types have dense cytoplasm and abundant mitochondria, there are three types companion cells  present in column A while its characteristics given in column B;

             COLUMN A                                                               COLUMN B

A) Ordinary companion cells             i) appear well suited for taking up solutes via cytoplasmic connections numerous plasmodesmata connecting them to bundle sheath cells. Its having numerous small vacuoles, as well as poorly developed thylakoids.

 

B) Transfer cells                                 ii) have chloroplasts with well-developed thylakoids     and a cell wall with a smooth inner surface. The number of plasmodesmata connecting ordinary companion cells to surrounding cells.

 C) Intermediary cells                          iii) the development of fingerlike wall in growths, particularly on the cell Walls. These wall ingrowths greatly increase the surface area of the transfer cell’s  plasma membrane, few plasmodesmata connect this type of companion cell to any of the surrounding cells except its own sieve element.
