Cell-to-cell transport of proteins and fluorescent tracers via plasmodesmata during plant development.
Plant cells communicate with each other via channels called plasmodesmata (PD). PD are not passive channels, but critical players in gene regulation, controlling intercellular transport of macromolecules between particular cells during development.
