Abstract: Plant cell morphogenesis requires precise regulation of localized cell expansion and cell division. Vectorial exocytosis is a major morphogenetic process in plant cells, intimately interwoven with the dynamics of the cytoskeleton. Small GTPases of the Ras superfamily act as molecular switches participating in the control of both vesicle trafficking (Rab GTPases) and cytoskeleton dynamics (Rho GTPases).
