Dispatch. Intercellular signaling: an elusive player steps forth.
Plasmodesmata play a central role in cell-to-cell communication in plants, allowing transport of regulatory proteins and mRNAs. A recent study has identified a specific protein that regulates the intercellular transport of macromolecules in plants, known as non-cell autonomous pathway protein 1.
