| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane-enclosed organelle in eukaryotes. The ER develops a continuous network composed of interconnected membrane tubules and flat cisternae called ER sheets in the cell periphery. The network structure is widely conserved in eukaryotes. The multifunctionality of the ER is thought to be closely related to its morphology. However, the mechanism of the ER morphogenesis in plant cells are largely unknown. In this study, we identified two ER membrane protein families, which are required for the ER morphogenesis in plant cells.
