Background Plant cell walls are mainly composed of polysaccharides such as cellulose and callose. Callose exists at a very low level in the cell wall; however, it plays critical roles at different stages of plant development as well as in defence against

Uncharted routes: exploring the relevance of auxin movement via plasmodesmata
Auxin is an endogenous small molecule with an incredibly large impact on growth and development in plants. Movement of auxin between cells, due to its negative charge at most physiological pHs, strongly relies on families of active transporters.

Intercellular trafficking via plasmodesmata: molecular layers of complexity
: Plasmodesmata are intercellular pores connecting together most plant cells. These structures consist of a central constricted form of the endoplasmic reticulum, encircled by some cytoplasmic space, in turn delimited by the plasma membrane, itself ...

A new paradigm is emerging in plant biology in which proteins and ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes play non-cell-autonomous roles in contributing to the control over developmental and physiological processes. Plasmodesmata (PD), the intercellular organelle(s) of the plant kingdom, create the pathway for the cell-to-cell trafficking of these ...

The proteins found at plasmodesmata and the interactions between them [PDF]
Plasmodesmata are specialised membrane-lined pores that create cell-to-cell connections through the cell wall. This cytoplasmic and membrane continuity allows for communication and co-ordination between cells, a prerequisite for multicellularity.

Plant viruses use a variety of strategies to infect their host. During infection, viruses cause symptoms of varying severity, which are often associated with altered leaf pigmentation due to structural and functional damage to chloroplasts that are ...

Our fundamental knowledge of the protein-sorting pathways required for plant cell-to-cell trafficking and communication via the intercellular connections termed plasmodesmata has been severely limited by the paucity of plasmodesmal targeting sequences ...

The role of leaf plasmodesmata in C4 photosynthesis [PDF]
In a C4 leaf, numerous plasmodesmata in the wall interface between the mesophyll and bundle sheath cells provide symplastic transport for exchange of C4 acids and metabolites during photosynthesis.

Putting the Squeeze on Plasmodesmata: A Role for Reticulons in Primary Plasmodesmata Formation [PDF]
Primary plasmodesmata (PD) arise at cytokinesis when the new cell plate forms. During this process, fine strands of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are laid down between enlarging Golgi-derived vesicles to form nascent PD, each pore containing a desmotubule, a membranous rod derived from the cortical ER.
