Endomembrane trafficking is essential for all eukaryotic cells. The best-characterized
membrane trafficking organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus …

Functional regulation and structural maintenance of the different organelles in plants
contribute directly to plant development, reproduction and stress responses. To ensure …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

ER-mitochondrial contact sites (EMCSs) are important for mitochondrial function. Here, we
have identified a EMCS complex, comprising a family of uncharacterised mitochondrial outer …

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation mechanism critical for plant acclimation to
environmental stresses. Central to autophagy is the formation of specialized vesicles, the …

In plants, exocyst subunit isoforms exhibit significant functional diversity in that they are
involved in either protein secretion or autophagy, both of which are essential for plant …

Autophagy eliminates cytoplasmic content selected by autophagy receptors, which link
cargo to the membrane-bound autophagosomal ubiquitin-like protein Atg8/LC3. Here, we …

Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system for cytoplasmic constituents which is
mediated by the formation of a double-membrane organelle termed the autophagosome and …

Members of the NETWORKED (NET) family are involved in actin-membrane interactions.
Here we show that two members of the NET family, NET4A and NET4B, are essential for …

Membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells form an interactive network to coordinate
and facilitate cellular functions. The formation of close contacts, termed “membrane contact …
