The partitioning membrane of dividing plant cells is made by homotypic fusion of trans-Golgi network–derived membrane vesicles delivered to the division plane. The cytokinesis-specific syntaxin of Arabidopsis forms two different types of SNARE complexes, which can functionally replace each other in membrane fusion during cytokinesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
