Physical Control Over Endocytosis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Endocytosis in Plants

Abstract

Plant endocytosis emerges as an active field of contemporary plant sciences. In this chapter, control of plant endocytosis via physical forces is discussed from the perspective of structural homeostasis of the plasma membrane (PM) regulated via vesicular trafficking. Plant cells are very active in endocytosis despite high turgor pressure. Similar to neurons, plant cells are also using endocytosis and endosomes for sensing and processing of sensory information and perhaps also for rapid cell-to-cell communication of this information. As the freshly internalized endosomes are surrounded by their limiting membrane derived from the PM, these endosomes effectively amplify structural and electrical boundaries between the cellular interior and exterior. This feature is critical for the primary processing of sensory information at the PM and its further transduction into signal transduction networks permeating the eukaryotic cell. The higher the number of endosomes a cell generates and recycles, the more it is informed about its environment. Endocytosis is sensitive to diverse physical factors including mechanical, thermal, and electro-magnetic aspects of the PM. Last but not the least, blue light emerges as a physical ligand-like factor for the unique light-induced plant endocytosis.
