The plant actin cytoskeleton provides a dynamic cellular component which is involved in the maintenance of cell shape and structure. It has been demonstrated recently that the actin cytoskeleton and its associated elements provide a key target in many signaling events. In addition to acting as a target, the actin cytoskeleton can also act as a transducer of signal information. In this review we describe some newly discovered aspects of the roles of the actin cytoskeleton in plant cell signaling. In addition to a summary of the roles played by actin-binding proteins, we also briefly review the progress made in understanding how the actin cytoskeleton participates in the self-incompatibility response in pollen tubes. Finally, the emerging importance of the actin cytoskeleton in the perception and responses to stimuli such as gravity, touch and cold stress exposure are discussed.
