Plasmodesmal Cou lin p g and Cell Differentiation in Aigae

  • Chapter
Plasmodesmata

Abstract

In the past few years, our knowledge about plasmodesmata and their function has grown steadily. As for plasmodesmata formation during cell division, its current image is based mainly on cell plate development in higher plants. This generalization of the plasmodesmal development and structure shuld probably be revised for algae, in which numerous types of cytoplasmic junctions, often described in fragmentary form, have been called plasmodesmata for many years. This view refers to the insight (Mezitt and Lucas 1996) that “to understand the fundamental role of plasmodesmata in plant biology, it is first necessary to describe their formation and distribution throughout the plant”.
