In this article we will discuss about the origin of cell wall in plants. Initially middle lamella creates a new boundary between the two-daughter nuclei of a dividing cell. The components of cell wall deposit on either side of middle lamella to form the cell wall. In a non-vacuolated cell, nucleus is usually present at the centre where it divides. [...]
Growth of cell wall involves the growth in surface area as well as growth in thickness. Normally, the entire cell wall grows. Localized growth occurs in fibres, root hairs, tracheids and pollen tubes. A new primary wall grows in surface area. The wall expands due to the turgor pressure exerted on the walls by the protoplast. Turgor pressure is developed [...]
Plasmodesma (plural: plasmodesmata) is thin irregular cylinder of cytoplasm lined by plasmalemma, passing through fine pores in the cell walls, thus forming a connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. They are found in higher plants and fluctuate widely in abundance and distribution. They are commonly present in primary pit fields and pit membranes of young and mature living cells [...]
