AbstractPlants are composed of millions of cells and intercellular signaling is essential for their physiology, especially under adverse growth conditions. Given the substantial environmental challenges climate change presents, there is an urgent need to understand how plants regulate cell-to-cell communication to adapt to changing environments. This project will explore the function and regulation of plant cell-to-cell communication systems. To communicate, plant cells utilize membrane-lined channels t
