  2. Plasmodesma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodesma

    A typical plant cell may have between 1,000 and 100,000 plasmodesmata connecting it with adjacent cells [11] equating to between 1 and 10 per μm 2. [ 12 ] [ failed verification ] Plasmodesmata are approximately 50–60 nm in diameter at the midpoint and are constructed of three main layers, the plasma membrane , the cytoplasmic sleeve , and ...

  3. Cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

    Cells interact though plasmodesmata, which are inter-connecting channels of cytoplasm that connect to the protoplasts of adjacent cells across the cell wall. In some plants and cell types, after a maximum size or point in development has been reached, a secondary wall is constructed between the plasma membrane and primary wall. [ 26 ]

  4. Caulimovirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulimovirus

    Plant cells do not possess receptors like animal cells that would allow the virus to enter and since plant cells are thick, viruses achieve entry as aforementioned. Once inside the plant, the virus spreads using plasmodesmata, a membrane channel found in plants connecting one plant cell to another. Caulimoviruses are para-retroviruses with a ...

  5. Pit (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_(botany)

    The pit aperture is the opening at either end of the pit chamber. The pit membrane is the primary cell wall and middle lamella, or the membrane between adjacent cell walls, at the middle of the pit chamber. [2] The primary cell wall at the pit membrane may also have depressions similar to the pit depressions of the secondary layers.

  7. Tunneling nanotube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_nanotube

    Cytonemes, however, do not always connect the membrane two cells and can act solely as environmental sensors. [28] Plasmodesmata have been identified as functional channels interconnecting plant cells, and stromules interconnect plastids. [47] [48] Myopodia are actin-rich cytoplasmic extensions which have been observed in embryonic Drosophila.

  8. Cell junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_junction

    Cell junctions are also especially important in enabling communication between neighboring cells via specialized protein complexes called communicating (gap) junctions. Cell junctions are also important in reducing stress placed upon cells. In plants, similar communication channels are known as plasmodesmata, and in fungi they are called septal ...
