During root development, the cells in the root cap transition from having a gravity-sensing function to becoming secretory cells and finally being shed. A new paper in Development describes the spatiotemporal dynamics of this process at both the cellular and subcellular levels, and identifies a key role for autophagy in organelle rearrangement and cell shedding. To find out more about the research, we caught up with first author Kaoru Sakamoto, first and corresponding author Tatsuaki Goh, Assistant Professor at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), and corresponding author Keiji Nakajima, Professor at NAIST.
在根发育过程中，根冠中的细胞逐渐由具有感知重力功能的细胞转变为分泌细胞，最终脱落。《发育》杂志上的一篇新论文描述了这个过程在细胞和亚细胞水平上的时空动态，并确定了自噬在细胞器重排和细胞脱落中的关键作用。为了更多地了解这项研究，我们采访了第一作者坂本薫、第一作者兼通讯作者小河辰明、奈良先端科学技术大学院大学副教授和通讯作者中嶋圭司。
