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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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

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 …

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 …

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