| Abstract | By touching a cell ofPleurosira laevis, a centric diatom, the chloroplasts in the cortical cytoplasm immediately migrate to the nuclear cytoplasm which is located at the center of the cell. The time required for migration, is about 10 s and that for restoration is about 15 min. The touch could be replaced by an electric stimulation. A 7 V pulse for 1 ms was required for the induction of chloroplast assemblage. To obtain chloroplast assemblage in 50% of the cells, the amount of time and voltage required were inversely proportional. Higher concentrations of KCl also induced chloroplast assemblage. Neither contact nor electric stimulation in Ca2+ free medium induced chloroplast assemblage. Verapamil, a Ca2+ channel blocker, in medium suppressed the chloroplast assemblage. Ca2+ ionophore caused the chloroplast assemblage. These results suggested that the depolarization of the plasma membrane was a trigger of the induction of chloroplast assemblage and the influx of Ca2+ to the cytoplasm through the channel was essential for this. The chloroplast assemblage was transmitted successively to the other cells of the filamentous colony, though these cells were linked only by a mucilaginous substance. Furthermore, the transmission occurred in cells which were placed separately. The maximum distance possible for this jumping transmission was 200 μm in the culture medium. To search for the release of any chemical transmitter, contact stimulation was applied to one cell at the middle of a filamentous colony which was placed in water streaming along the axis of the filament. Chloroplast assemblage was induced more in downstream cells than in upstream ones. This result suggested the existence of some substance which mediated the transmission of the stimulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
