Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis in Plants is Energetically Possible 1

Michael J Saxton 1, R William Breidenbach 1
PMCID: PMC1054614  PMID: 16666078

Abstract

A detailed examination of the arguments of Cram (1980 New Phytol 84: 1-17) against the uptake of major nutrients in plants by endocytosis shows that the arguments do not exclude the possibility of receptor-mediated endocytosis.
