In the present work the function of the cytoskeleton was investigated in the perception of biotic and abiotic stimuli. The synchronicity of the cell division was chosen as an indicator of the cellular response to an abiotic stimulus light, whereas a pathological attack simulated by an elicitor was used as a biotic stimulus. The results show a different response of the cytoskeleton to these two stimuli with regard to reorganization and signal transduction.

Summary
- Ban Ritsuki was looking forward to his university life. Then, on his very
first day, he bumps into a strange man on campus who tells him that he has the
sort of face that he likes. Reacting badly, he tells the man he is disgusting.
Unfortunately, that was not the end of the matter, as the stranger turns out to
be one of his lecturers, Takagi Shoutaro! Ban finds this irritating enough, but
Takagi can't seem to get the message that Ban wants Takagi to leave Ban alone as
much as possible. To be honest, Takagi just really pushes Ban's rage buttons.
That is, until one unguarded moment when Ban catches sight of Takagi sky gazing,
with a look of intense melancholy upon his face. Finding his heart unexpectedly
moved, Ban discovers that sometimes irritation can be a symptom of something
besides anger, but what is it?
