Formins are conserved actin polymerization machines that have instrumental roles in
controlling rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and have recently been shown to …

Building a complex structure such as the cell wall, with many individual parts that need to be
assembled correctly from distinct sources within the cell, is a well-orchestrated process …

Membrane lipids play fundamental structural and regulatory roles in cell metabolism and
signaling. Here, we report that phosphatidic acid (PA), a product of phospholipase D (PLD) …

Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that provides shape and physically limits cell
expansion. To sense the environment and status of cell wall structures, plants have evolved …

The cortical endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network in plants is a highly dynamic structure, and
it contacts the plasma membrane (PM) at ER-PM anchor/contact sites. These sites are …

Plants have unique microtubule (MT) arrays, cortical MTs, preprophase band, mitotic
spindle, and phragmoplast, in the processes of evolution. These MT arrays control the …

In eukaryotic cells, the actin and microtubule (MT) cytoskeletal networks are dynamic
structures that organize intracellular processes and facilitate their rapid reorganization. In …

Complex animals use a wide variety of adaptor proteins to produce specialized sites of
interaction between actin and membranes. Plants do not have these protein families, yet …

Microtubules (MTs) are highly conserved polar polymers that are key elements of the
eukaryotic cytoskeleton and are essential for various cell functions. αβ-tubulin, a …

The infection of plants by viruses depends on cellular mechanisms that support the
replication of the viral genomes, and the cell-to-cell and systemic movement of the virus via …
