Plasmodesmata can change in number, and when dilated can provide a passageway macromolecules
Plasmodesmata are essential for the intercellular transfer of both big informational macromolecules like proteins and smaller signaling chemicals in plant cells.
Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined structures that offer a high-conductance, aqueous channel for the transportation of information in the form of chemicals and macromolecules, such as transcription factors, from cell to cell.
The intimate interaction of the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic reticulum results in the formation of plasmodesmata.
The degree to which a particular cell acts as an individual or as a component of the entire organism is determined by the distribution and unitary conductance of plasmodesmata as well as other positional variables that affect development.
