text: In unicellular and multicellular organisms, cell polarity is essential for
a wide range of biological processes. An important feature of cell polarity is
the asymmetric distribution of proteins in or at the plasma membrane. In plants
such polar localized proteins play various specific roles ranging from organizing
cell morphogenesis, asymmetric cell division, pathogen defense, nutrient transport
and establishment of hormone gradients for developmental patterning. Moreover,
flexible respecification of cell polarities enables plants to adjust their physiology
and development to environmental changes. Having evolved multicellularity independently
and lacking major cell polarity mechanisms of animal cells, plants came up with
alternative solutions to generate and respecify cell polarity as well as to regulate
polar domains at the plasma membrane.
