[Concurrent 20] Interdisciplinary approaches applied to plasmodesmata research

Plasmodesmata provide a route for the transport of signalling proteins and RNAs, metabolites and hormones to coordinate cellular functions within tissues and across distant organs. This session aims to uncover the broad range of interdisciplinary approaches that have been recently applied to understand plasmodesmata formation and function. We will hear from researchers combining genetic and bioorthogonal chemistry approaches, and physico mechanical models to dissect plasmodesmata function as well as developing new devices and using interfamily grafts and bryophytes to follow Plasmodesmata development and their role in multicellularity. We will also discuss the potential of engineering this mechanism to improve crops in a changing environment
