Abstract excerpt
Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular life. In plants, plasmodesmata-cytoplasmic channels that connect adjacent cells-enable the transport of molecules between cells. In roots, such transport is thought to play a central role in nutrient acquisition and delivery across the multiple cell layers. In this study, we demonstrate that plasmodesmatal transport persists in fully differentiated...
