Membrane biology is the study of the structural and physiochemical properties of biological membranes, including the lipid bilayers and embedded proteins that define cellular boundaries and compartments. In plants, membranes play critical roles in regulating the transport of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules across cell walls and organelle boundaries. Understanding plant membrane function is essential for research into stress responses, photosynthesis, hormone signaling, and the selective uptake of minerals from soil.
