Channels in plant cell walls, called plasmodesmata, provide molecules with a bridge to move between cells, an essential phenomenon for cellular growth and development. The mystery has long been how ...

Prior to a long-distance transport of photoassimilate in the sieve elements of Laminaria, a parenchyma transport across the cortex must occur. It is suggested that this transport is a symplastic one.

In WT, PDLP7 interacts with BG10 through its GnK2-1 domain to restrict BG10 from hydrolyzing callose. Free callose in the cell wall is deposited at the PD neck to maintain a dynamically balanced ...

When facing a volatile climate, nature searches for a way to survive. For plants, that often means spreading new roots deeper and wider in search of water, particularly in times of drought. While ...

Traffic lights signal to cars and buses when to stop, slow and go. Much like traffic lights, plant cells send signals to each other to perform photosynthesis to grow or fight off destructive viruses ...

Figure 1: Model of protein/ribonucleoprotein transport through the microchannels of higher plant plasmodesmata. Figure 2: The plant vascular network and the development of the phloem sieve-tube system ...

Plant scientists have discovered a gene that they hope can be used to widen a nutrient trafficking bottleneck and potentially increase crop yields. Plant scientists at the Universities of Cambridge ...

To communicate with its neighbors, animal cells use gap junctions which are symplasmic connections through which molecules can diffuse from one cell to another. In higher plants, the communication ...

Together with Prof. Dr. Waltraud Schulze at the University of Hohenheim and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Baumeister at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) in Martinsried, Prof. Dr. Wolf B. Frommer ...
