Membrane rafts or lipid rafts, areas enriched in certain lipids, were thought to be identical with detergent-resistant membranes (DRM). In recent years, most researchers in the mammalian field have come to the conclusion that detergent resistance is not a valid criterion for defining functional membrane microdomains. Here we find the plant science literature to be lagging behind in its treatment of DRM methodology and accent the necessity of using alternative approaches to define lateral membrane compartments in plant and fungal cells.
