Plasmodesmata ‘in communicado’ [PDF]
Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular life. For this to occur effectively there must be pathways and dynamic networks for communication. These might depend upon electrical or chemical signals or the mass transfer of molecules between

Plasmodesmata: Structure and Function [PDF]
Plasmodesmata are channels that transverse the cell wall and membrane. These specialized and non passive channels act like gates that facilitate and regulate both communication and transportation of molecules such as water, nutrients, metabolites and ...

ABSTRACT Plasmodesmata are cytoplasmic communication channels that are vital for the physiology and development of all plants. They facilitate the intercellular movement of various cargos – ranging from small molecules, such as sugars, ions and other essential nutrients and chemicals, to large complex molecules, such as proteins and ...

Distributing Plant Developmental Regulatory Proteins via Plasmodesmata
During plant development, mobile proteins, including transcription factors, abundantly serve as messengers between cells to activate transcriptional signaling cascades in distal tissues.

Plasmodesmata spread their influence [PDF]
Plasmodesmata (PDs) are microscopic channels that connect virtually every plant cell to its neighbors. They also provide a route for molecules to access the phloem for systemic movement throughout the plant. In this report, I review recent findings that broaden the potential impact of these channels, by revealing their contribution to auxin movement ...

Plasmodesmata: Channels Under Pressure [PDF]
Multicellularity has emerged multiple times in evolution, enabling groups of cells to share a living space and reducing the burden of solitary tasks. While unicellular organisms exhibit individuality and independence, cooperation among cells in multicellular organisms brings specialization and flexibility.

Auxin fluxes through plasmodesmata [PDF]
SummaryCharacterising the processes that control auxin dynamics is essential to understanding how auxin regulates plant development. Over recent years, several studies have investigated auxin diffusion through plasmodesmata, characterising this cell‐to‐cell diffusion and demonstrating that it affects auxin distributions. Furthermore, studies have shown

Improved mesophyll-bundle sheath connectivity is achieved via different mechanisms in C<sub>2</sub> vs C<sub>4</sub> Alternanthera. [PDF]
Leaf anatomy and biochemistry of C3, C2, and C4 plants. Summary Connectivity between mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells must improve during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis to facilitate large metabolite fluxes between these cell types, but the trait combinations that enhance M–BS connectivity and the points at which these enhancements occur ...
