Correct positioning and active movement of organelles within cells are essential for cellular
homeostasis and adaptation to external stresses. Unlike animal and fungal systems, plant …

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 …

Genome sequencing has resulted in the identification of a large number of uncharacterized
genes with unknown functions. It is widely recognized that determination of the intracellular …

Eukaryotic cells consist of a complex network of thousands of proteins present in different
organelles where organelle-specific cellular processes occur. Identification of the …

Plant organ shape is determined by the spatial-temporal expression of genes that control the
direction and rate of cell division and expansion, as well as the mechanical constraints …

We are entering an exciting century in the study of the plant organelles in the
endomembrane system. Over the past century, especially within the past 50 years …

The plant organelles database (PODB; http://podb. nibb. ac. jp/Organellome) was built to
promote a comprehensive understanding of organelle dynamics, including organelle …

Organelle movement and interaction are dynamic processes. Interpreting the functional role
and mechanistic detail of interactions at membrane contact sites requires careful …

Contents Summary 381 I. Introduction 381 II. Basic movement characteristics 382 III. Actin
and associated motors, myosins, play a primary role in plant organelle movement and …

We have focused our studies in the past several years on understanding protein trafficking
from the secretory system to the vacuole—an organelle present in all plant cells. Here, we …
