In plant cells, different kinds of single-and double-membrane-bounded cell organelles
exhibit dynamic changes in their morphology, motility, and distribution patterns. The dynamic …

High quality transmission electron micrographs have played a major role in shaping our
views on organelles in plant cells. However, these snapshots of dead, fixed and sectioned …

Plant organelles predominantly rely on the actin cytoskeleton and the myosin motors for long-
distance trafficking, while using microtubules and the kinesin motors mostly for short-range …

Intracellular organelle movements and positioning play pivotal roles in enabling plants to
proliferate life efficiently and to survive diverse environmental stresses. The elaborate …

Cell walls lock each cell in a specific position within the supra‐organization of a plant.
Despite its fixed location, each cell must be able to sense alterations in its immediate …

The life strategy of plants includes their ability to respond quickly at the cellular level to
changes in their environment. The use of targeted fluorescent protein probes and imaging of …

Eukaryotic cells contain organelles surrounded by monolayer or bilayer membranes.
Organelles take part in highly dynamic and organized interactions at membrane contact …

Organelle dynamics vary dramatically depending on cell type, developmental stage and
environmental stimuli, so that various parameters, such as size, number and behavior, are …

Background The isolation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the development of
spectral variants over the past decade have begun to reveal the dynamic nature of protein …

In this glossary of plant cell structures, we asked experts to summarize a present-day view of
plant organelles and structures, including a discussion of outstanding questions. In the …
