This project investigates plasmodesmata, the cell connections in plants that facilitate nutrient exchange and communication. Using advanced imaging and genetic techniques, it aims to uncover their composition and function, potentially leading to innovations in agricultural biotechnology.
During evolution of multicellularity, cells differentiated to become specialized and interdependent.
Multicellular organisms invented channels for nutrient exchange and communication between cells.
Plants uniquely developed plasmodesmata, complex cell-cell connections traversing the cell wall.
Roles ascribed to plasmodesmata include selective transport of signals, ions, metabolites, RNAs and proteins.
Due to technical hurdles, composition, structure and regulation of plasmodesmatal conductance r…
