Beschreibung
Since their discovery over 100 years ago, plasmodesmata have beenthe focus of intense investigation. Plasmodesmata are unique toplants and form an intercellular continuum for the transport ofsolutes, signals and ribonucleoprotein complexes. It is now clearthat plasmodesmata formation and regulation are central to adiverse range of plant functions that include developmentalprogramming, host-pathogen interactions and systemic RNAsignaling.
This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the diverseforms and functions of plasmodesmata. It covers the structure andevolution of plasmodesmata, their role in plant development andsolute transport, and their central function in systemic signalingvia the phloem. It includes critical evaluations of current methodsused to study intercellular transport via plasmodesmata.
The volume is directed at researchers and professionals in plantcell biology, plant molecular biology, plant physiology and plantpathology.
