Plasmodesmata act as key elements in intercellular communication, coordinating processes related to plant growth, development, and responses environmental stresses. While many of the developmental, biotic, abiotic signals are primarily perceived at plasma membrane (PM) by receptor proteins, plasmodesmata also cluster receptor-like activities; whether these two pathways interact is currently unknown. Here, we show that specific PM-located Leu-rich-repeat receptor-like-kinases, Qiān Shŏu...

The formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules in legumes involves the initiation synchronized programs root epidermis and cortex to allow rhizobial infection nodule development. In this study, we provide evidence that symplastic communication, regulated by callose turnover at plasmodesmata (PD), is important for coordinating development Medicago truncatula. Here, show rhizobia promote a reduction levels inner tissues where initiate. This downregulation coincides with localized expression M....

Summary A major route for cell-to-cell signaling is via cell wall-embedded pores termed plasmodesmata (PD) forming the symplasm. PD regulate many aspects of plant development and responses to environment however, our understanding what factors affect their structure permeability limited. In this paper, a meta-analysis presented as tool identification conditions affecting transport in silico generation proteomes species interest. The custom-built pipeline searches whole genome protein...
