Description
Summary:The formation of edible organs and stress adaption are two major focuses of the studies on vegetable species. The regulation of these two processes often involves cell-to-cell signaling. In most plants, including vegetable species, intercellular signaling can be delivered by mobile regulators that traffic through a channel called plasmodesmata connecting almost all cells. A large number of transcription factors and RNAs have been discovered to move across plasmodesmata (called the symplastic way) to travel a short-range or a long-distance. This symplastic transport of signaling molecules has emerged to be an important regulation of a wide range of developmental and physiological processes. Callose deposition to plasmodesmata is a key step controlling the plasmodesmata permeability in many cell types. Here we summarize the recent progress in our understanding of plasmodesmata-mediated signaling in plants.
