Abstract
Exocytosis and endocytosis are of central importance for the trans- membrane transport of a wide range of molecules. In this project, using the experience and technology of Dr Mason's group, initial patch clamp experiments by Zorec and Tester will be extended to investigate the mechanism and control of exocytosis in a plant secretory cell. The processes will be compared with those found in animal cells, and should provide insights into the key molecular events central to exocytosis.
