Morphogenesis on the move: cell-to-cell trafficking of plant regulatory proteins. Current Opinion in Genetics and Development 7(4) 495-500. Interpretive Summary: Plant proteins move between cells. The protein movement may coordinate activities of plant cells. Technical Abstract: It has been shown recently that some plant transcription factors that regulate cell fate during development can traffic through plasmodesmata--the intercellular channels that connect plant cells. This phenomenon helps explain the non-autonomous effects of many developmental mutations in plants and defines a novel mechanism by which cells signal to each other during development. |
