Recursos en línea: Resumen: BACKGROUND: Individual plant cells are encased in a cell wall. To enable cell-to-cell communication, plants have evolved channels, termed plasmodesmata, to span thick walls and interconnect the cytoplasm between adjacent cells. How macromolecules pass through these channels is now beginning to be understood. RESULTS: Using two green fluorescent protein (GFP)reporters and a non-invasive transfection system, we assayed for intercellular macromolecular traffic in leaf epidermal cells. Plasmodesmata were found in different states of dilation. We could distinguish two forms of protein movement across plasmodesmata, non-targeted and targeted. Although leaves have generally been considered closed to non-specific transport of macromolecules, we found that 23
