The purpose of the Symposium is to bring together plant cell biologists working in the separate areas of plant cytoskeleton and plant intracellular membrane compartmentation. Although the scientists working in these areas generally meet separately to share information, these two areas of cell biology are conceptually related, since they both deal with how things move from one place to another within the cell, and they are beginning to converge as the role of the cytoskeleton in intracellular membrane trafficking is beginning to become appreciated. Thus, bringing these two groups together is a good and timely idea, and it is anticipated that they will learn from and interact with each other and thereby enrich each field. ***
