Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are organelles that protrude from the surface of cells and are involved in a multitude of biological functions including sensory, motility, and movement of extracellular ...

THERE is a considerable variation in the morphology of the flagella in the lower plant groups and in the flagellates. The flagellar structures have been used as systematic characters since the ...

These interactions contribute to the stability of the doublet and hence, normal ciliary motility. Cilia and flagella are highly conserved organelles present in protists all the way to humans. They are ...

With eight flagella of four different lengths, the parasitic protist Giardia is an ideal model to evaluate flagellar assembly and length regulation. To determine how four different flagellar lengths ...
