Plant intercellular connections (plasmodesmata, PD) are thought to originate with the appearance of multicellularity in green algae but their structural complexity increased, presumably, as a result of changes in cell-wall composition during adaptation to terrestrial environments (Lucas and Lee, 2004; Popper et al., ...
What is the origin of plasmodesmata?
Plasmodesma originates during cytokinesis when cell plate is formed. It is formed at those regions of the cell plate where the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is present and prevents the fusion of vesicles. ... Plasmodesmata exist in thick cell wall also, e.g. endosperm of the seeds of Phoenix dactylifera, Coffea arabica etc.
Where are plasmodesmata found?
Plasmodesmata (singular form: plasmodesma) are intercellular organelles found only in plant and algal cells. (The animal cell "equivalent" is called the gap junction.) The plasmodesmata consist of pores, or channels, lying between individual plant cells, and connect the symplastic space in the plant.
