Abstract

Locomotion clearly sets plants and animals apart. However, recent studies in higher plants reveal cell-biological and molecular features similar to those observed at the leading edge of animal cells and suggest conservation of boundary extension mechanisms between motile animal cells and nonmotile plant cells.

Abbreviations used in this paper: ARP, actin-related protein; ROP, Rho-related GTPase of plants; SCAR, suppressor of cAMP receptor; WAVE, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family verprolin-homologous protein.
