[Concurrent 18] Making contacts: Membrane contact sites between plant organelles

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are defined as areas of close apposition and tethering between the membranes of two organelles but crucially, the membranes do not fuse. These sites function as specific microdomains for the bi-directional exchange of molecular cargo and are linked to the propagation of intracellular signals enabling a coordinated cellular response to internal and external cues. This session will bring together plant cell biologists researching the molecular mechanisms of MCS tethers using new experimental tools and imaging techniques, with plant physiologists and pathologists interested in the wider role of MCSs in developmental and stress signalling.
