This study determines the molecular structure of the TPLATE complex and shows its structural flexibility is essential for membrane deformation during plant endocytosis.

The paper identifies a mechanism in plants where clathrin-coated vesicles are selectively degraded via autophagy during osmotic stress to maintain membrane tension and cell integrity.

This study identifies SCAMP proteins as regulators of aquaporin abundance in Arabidopsis root cells, showing reduced PIP levels in mutants lead to improved drought response.
