title: Budding and braking news about clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
abstract: Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is the predominate mechanism of endocytosis in eukaryotes, but an understanding of this mechanism in plants has lagged behind yeast and mammalian systems. The generation of Arabidopsis mutant libraries, and the development of the molecular tools and equipment necessary to characterize these plant lines has led to an astonishing number of new insights into the mechanisms of membrane trafficking in plants. Over the past few years progress has been made on identifying, and in some instances confirming, the core components of CME in plants. This review focuses on the recent progress made in the understanding of the mechanism and regulation of CME in plants.
