Glucose-TOR-PDCB signaling restricts cell-to-cell communication through callose deposition

Plant cells are connected by plasmodesmata (PD), membrane-lined channels that facilitate cell-to-cell transport. Forward genetic screens to uncover regulators of PD transport identified mutants with increased ( ise1 to ise4 ) or decreased ( dse1 ) PD trafficking during embryogene...
