Review: Organelles-nucleus-plasmodesmata signaling, and roles in plant physiology, metabolism and stress responses (Curr. Opin. Plant Biol.)

Review: Organelles-nucleus-plasmodesmata signaling, and roles in plant physiology, metabolism and stress responses Plasmodesmata (PD) are pores that connect plant cells and allow the flow of small molecules and information but also viruses. This traffic is tightly regulated, in large part by the deposition…
