Abstract: | Plant cell polarity is important for cellular function and multicellular development. Classical physiological and cell biological analyses identified cues that orient cell polarity and suggested molecules that translate a cue into intracellular asymmetry. A range of proteins that either mark or are involved in the establishment of a (polar) axis are now available, as are many relevant mutants. These tools are likely to facilitate a dissection of the molecular mechanisms behind cell and organ polarity in the near future. |
