Macromolecular cell-to-cell transport in plants occurs through complex intercellular channels, the plasmodesmata. Plant viruses pirate these natural plant communication channels for their own spread from an infected cell to a neighboring healthy cell. Viral movement proteins are the major agents in promoting this process. is the most extensively studied plant virus and can therefore be viewed as a model system for cell-to-cell transport. In this chapter we summarize knowledge about mechanistic properties of the movement protein of and discuss the potential involvement of other viral and cellular components in the intercellular transport process.

Like many other protected areas in Africa, LMNP in Uganda is in danger of becoming a paper park. For ecological as well as socio-economic reasons, the park’s existence and potential to sustain wildlife depend heavily on its surroundings.

In this chapter, I illustrate the non-participatory and participatory conservation history of LMNP and describe the participatory approaches of a research project on community wildlife utilisation. The participatory approach comprising a vivid stakeholder dialogue laid the foundation for mutual planning, transparency and the cohesion of stakeholders. Furthermore, it created ownership and commitment by the Wildlife Authority, the Local Authorities, and the community members of Nyabushozi at the same time. As a result, a community wildlife utilisation pilot project was established adjacent to LMNP helping to conserve the protected area.
