Summary[edit]

Description

Every living plant cell and animal cell is surrounded by a membrane. These cellular membranes contain receptor molecules that serve as the cell's eyes and ears, and help it communicate with other cells and with the outside world. Transmembrane signaling in animal cells has been significantly more studied and observed than that in plant cells. But now, with support from NSF, researchers from Joanne Chory's laboratory at the Salk Institute have published new observations about transmembrane signaling in plants. According to the study, transmembrane signaling mechanisms used by plants differ from those used by animals. Learn more in the NSF news release.
