讲座中文简介：

In plants, plasma membrane-embedded CELLULOSE SYNTHASE (CESA) enzyme complexes deposit cellulose chains into the developing cell wall. Cellulose synthesis requires two different sets of CESA complexes that are active during cell expansion and secondary cell wall thickenings, respectively. Hence, developing xylem cells, which first undergo cell expansion and subsequently deposit thick secondary walls, need to completely reorganize their cellulose synthase complexes from primary- to secondary wall-specific CESAs. Using live-cell imaging, we have analyzed the principles underlying this remodeling. We can show model how microtubules re-arrange their array structure during transition between primary and secondary wall synthesis and how they switch form one type of CESA complex to another. Our data reveal distinct and dynamic subcellular trafficking patterns that underpin the remodeling of the cellulose biosynthetic machinery, resulting in the removal and degradation of the primary wall CESA complex, with concurrent production and recycling of the secondary wall CESAs.
