Cell walls are at the basis of a structural, four-dimensional framework of plant form and growth time. Recent rapid progress of cell wall research has led to the situation where the old, long-lasting juxtaposition: "living" protoplast - "dead" cell wall, had to be dropped. Various attempts of re-interpretation cast, however, some doubts over the very nature of plant cell and the status of the walls within such a cell. Following a comparison of exocellular matrices of plants and animals, their position in relation to cells and organisms is analysed. A multitude of perspectives of the biological organisation of living beings is presented with particular attention paid to the cellular and organismal theories. Basic tenets and resulting corollaries of both theories are compared, and evolutionary and developmental implications are considered. Based on these data, "The Plant Body" - an organismal concept of plants and plant cells is described.

Gwałtowny rozwój technik mikroskopii fluorescencyjnej, w tym konfokalnej, w połączeniu z wykorzystaniem metod biologii molekularnej znacząco zdynamizowały rozwój molekularnej biologii komórki. Z wielu różnych względów, zwłaszcza znaczącej odmienności strukturalnej i funkcjonalnej, badania komórek roślinnych są nieco opóźnione. Artykuł podsumowuje stan badań systemu błon wewnętrznych komórek roślinnych z wykorzystaniem zróżnicowanych podejść i metod badawczych biologii komórki. Wskazuje na użycie różnego typu znaczników, tak chemicznych, jak i genetycznych, które umożliwiają lokalizację makrocząsteczek i procesów biologicznych. Omawia substancje chemiczne, które zaburzają funkcjonowanie systemu wewnątrzbłonowego, a więc pośrednio pozwalają wnioskować o roli uczestniczących w tych procesach białek. Wreszcie, pokazuje wykorzystanie nowych podejść i technik mikroskopowych do badań komórek roślinnych. Gdzie to jest stosowne, omawia także trudności wynikające ze swoistości składu, struktury i funkcji komórek roślinnych.

Rapid development of fluorescence microscopy, including confocal microscopy, combined with the utilization of the methodologies of molecular biology, significantly accelerated the development of molecular cell biology. Research in plant cell biology slightly lags behind, mainly due to marked structural and functional dissimilarity of plant cells. This paper summarizes the current state of research on plant endomembrane system with respect to the utilization of differentiated approaches and methods of cell biology. The use of markers, both chemical and genetic, which enable localization of macromolecules and biological processes is indicated. Chemical substances perturbing the functioning of the endomembrane system and thus enabling to draw conclusions on the role of specific proteins are listed and discussed. Finally, use of novel approaches and microscopic techniques to the research of plant cells is demonstrated. Where applicable, problems arising due to the specific composition, structure and function of plant cells, are also considered.

Transport and localized translation of mRNA is crucial for the proper spatiotemporal organization of proteins within cells. Distribution of RNAs to subcellular domains has recently emerged as a major mechanism for establishing functionally distinct compartments and structures in the cells. There is an emerging evidence that active transport of mRNA involves cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking pathways in fungi, plants and animals, suggesting that it is a common phenomenon among eukaryotes. The important highlights are that the RNA-binding proteins recognize the cargo mRNA and that RNPs are actively transported on the cytoskeletal tracks or co-transported with membranous compartments, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes. The interest of scientists has expanded over the past years in response to the discoveries that RNA can be exported from cells to play a role in the intercellular communication. In this review, we will focus on characterization of the RNA transport both, within a cell and between cells, and on the currently proposed mechanisms for RNA targeting.
