Plasmodesmata
• Plasmodesmata are protoplasmic strands that connect the protoplasts
of neighboring cells.
• Diameter is 40-50nm.
• Easily seen in endosperm of seeds such as Phoenix , Aesculus ,
Diospyros and in cotyledons of some plants.

STRUCTURE OF PLASMODESMATA
• Plasmodesmata is lined by plasma membrane.
• It encloses tubular extensions of endoplasmic reticulum called
desmotubule.
• The space between desmotubule and plasma membrane contain 8 –
10 microchannels.
6
Components of plasmodesmata
7
CLASSIFICATION OF PLASMODESMATA
On the basis of origin:
• primary plasmodesmata
• secondary plasmodesmata
On the basis of branching:
• branched plasmodesmata
• Unbranched plasmodesmata
8
Structure of plasmodesmata: A) Simple, B) Branched (as between sieve
tube cells and companion cells)
9
FUNCTION OF PLASMODESMATA
• Transport of materials and relay of stimuli.
• Regulate traffic of molecules between cells.
• Important role during development of organelle.
• Involved in short distance movement of viruses.
