Abstract:
Plants lack the Rho and Rac/Cdc42 GTPases that are so important in diverse signal transduction processes in animals. A plant-specific group of Rho-like proteins - Rops - shows striking similarities to their animal relatives, but also exciting differences in their regulation and signal transduction.
