Cell-cell communication is a central feature of multicellular organisms, enabling division of labour and coordinated responses. Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined pores that provide regulated cytoplasmic continuity between plant cells, facilitating signalling and transport across neighboring cells. Plant development and survival profoundly depend on the existence and functioning of these structures, bringing them to the spotlight for both fundamental and applied research. Despite the rich conceptual and translational rewards in sight, however, the study of plasmodesmata poses significant challenges. This Review will mostly focus on research published between May 2022 and May 2023 and intends to provide a short overview of recent discoveries, innovations, community resources and hypotheses.
细胞间通讯是多细胞生物的一个核心特征，使分工和协调反应成为可能。胞间连丝是一种膜衬里的孔，为植物细胞之间提供了受调节的细胞质连续性，促进了信号转导和物质在相邻细胞之间的运输。植物的发育和生存严重依赖于这些结构的存在和功能，使它们成为基础研究和应用研究的焦点。然而，尽管前景可观，但胞间连丝的研究仍然面临着重大挑战。这篇综述主要集中在 2022 年 5 月至 2023 年 5 月期间发表的研究，并旨在提供最近发现、创新、社区资源和假说的简要概述。
