Understanding organelle communication through contact sites in plant stress responses
To be able to suTo be able to survive constantly changing and often harmful environmental conditions, plants must continuously adapt. Therefore, plants have complex mechanisms that sense and transduce environmental stimuli into adaptive responses. Organelles within the cell are thought to be important sensors and due to their tight integration into whole-cell metabolic and signalling networks, they are in a prime position to communicate stress signals and trigger adaptive responses. However, the mechanisms on how organelles convey stress signals remain poorly understood, especially in plants: “Which is the nature of the signals, how are they propagated and how are they perceived by other…
