Formation of plasmodesmata bridges through ER-dependent incomplete cytokinesis

Plasmodesmata are important for intercellular communication in plants. They are formed through incomplete cytokinesis during which there is no “final cut” of the communication between daughter cells. Unlike animal cells that have a single bridge between cells, plants create several hundreds of plasmodesmata bridges between daughter cells. While the function and structure of the plasmodesmata […]
