title: Membrane trafficking in plants: new discoveries and approaches.
abstract: The general organization and function of the endomembrane system is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. In addition, increasing numbers of studies demonstrate that normal plant growth and development are dependent on specialized tissue and subcellular-specific components of the plant membrane trafficking machinery. New approaches, including chemical genomics and proteomics, will likely accelerate our understanding of the diverse functions of the plant endomembrane system.
