Section Description
PBIO3990B: Molecular Plant Cell Biology:Membrane trafficking and plant development Endomembrane trafficking is essential for the movement of membrane proteins between distinct compartment within cells. This process encompasses the secretion and recycling of plasma membrane receptors and transporters from the trans- Golgi to the plasma membrane or the targeting of these proteins to the vacuole. In this manner, cells are able to respond to their environment by modulating the concentration of transporters and receptors on the plasma membrane that respond to developmental, hormonal and environmental signals in controlling growth. In this primary literature-based course, we will discuss the major cellular mechanisms used to transport membrane proteins within cells. In addition, we will discuss methods used to investigate these processes in plants. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to develop a research project with a peer student, using these methods, to establish an experimental approach for answering a question in plant cell biology that is of interest to you.
