Eukaryotic cells across the tree of life organize their subcellular components via intracellular
transport mechanisms. In canonical transport, myosin, kinesin, and dynein motor proteins …

Kinesins and myosins are motor proteins that can move actively along microtubules and
actin filaments, respectively. Plants have evolved a unique set of motors that function as …

Pollen tubes usually exhibit a prominent region at their apex called the “clear zone” because
it lacks light refracting amyloplasts. A robust, long clear zone often associates with fast …

Cytoplasmic streaming is active transport widely occurring in plant cells ranging from algae
to angiosperms. Although it has been revealed that cytoplasmic streaming is generated by …

Movement of secretory organelles is a fascinating yet largely mysterious feature of
eukaryotic cells. Microtubule‐based endomembrane and organelle motility utilizing the …

In response to Ca2+ signals, the evolutionarily‐conserved Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM)
regulates protein targets via direct interaction. Plants possess many CaM‐like (CML) …
