Acetylcholine receptors: too many channels, too few functions

Article Abstract:
Plasmodesmata, the cytoplasmic channels for communication between plant cells, had been thought to transport only small metabolites and growth homrones, unless corrupted by viruses. New research shows that they can easily change shape and capacity on contact with large proteins.
