Lipid droplets, also known as oil bodies or lipid bodies, are plant organelles that
compartmentalize neutral lipids as a hydrophobic matrix covered by proteins embedded in a …

Anionic phospholipids, which include phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and
phosphoinositides, represent a small percentage of membrane lipids. They are able to …

ER-mitochondrial contact sites (EMCSs) are important for mitochondrial function. Here, we
have identified a EMCS complex, comprising a family of uncharacterised mitochondrial outer …

In plants, exocyst subunit isoforms exhibit significant functional diversity in that they are
involved in either protein secretion or autophagy, both of which are essential for plant …

Abstract The Arabidopsis EH proteins (AtEH1/Pan1 and AtEH2/Pan1) are components of the
endocytic TPLATE complex (TPC) which is essential for endocytosis. Both proteins are …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

In eukaryotes, membrane contact sites (MCS) allow direct communication between
organelles. Plants have evolved a unique type of MCS, inside intercellular pores, the …

Stomata are micropores on the leaf epidermis that allow carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake for
photosynthesis at the expense of water loss through transpiration. Stomata coordinate the …

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system for cytoplasmic constituents which is
mediated by the formation of a double-membrane organelle termed the autophagosome and …

Multicellularity differs in plants and animals in that the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, and
endomembrane of plants are connected between cells through plasmodesmal pores …
