Here, we demonstrate that <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> Formin 2 (AtFH2) localizes to plasmodesmata (PD) through its transmembrane domain and is required for normal intercellular trafficking. Although loss-of-function <i>atfh2</i> mutants have no overt developmental defect, PD's permeability and sensitivity to virus infection are increased in <i>atfh2</i> plants. Interestingly, AtFH2 functions in a partially redundant manner with its closest homolog AtFH1, which also contains a PD localization sig ...[more]
