Plasmodesma plant cells, light micrograph
Plasmodesma plant cells. Light micrograph of a transverse section through intracellular bridges (plasmodema cell) in the fruit of a strychnine plant (Strychnos nux-vomica). The thick-walled cells of the endosperm of this plants fruit (nut) have black lines traversing the cell walls of interconnected cells. These lines are tubes called plasmodesma. The plasma membranes of adjacent cells pass through this channel, and these connect with one another, allowing substances to pass from one cell to another.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of plasmodesma plant cells. Taken under a light microscope, this stunning image reveals a transverse section through intracellular bridges in the fruit of a strychnine plant. The endosperm cells, with their thick walls, are adorned with black lines that traverse the cell walls and connect neighboring cells. These lines are known as plasmodesma, which serve as tiny tubes facilitating communication between adjacent cells. Through these channels, the plasma membranes of different cells intertwine and establish connections, allowing for the exchange of essential substances. This remarkable interconnectedness plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular function within plants. At a magnification of x230 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every detail is brought to life in this botanical masterpiece. From its anatomical and structural intricacies to its biological significance, this photograph provides an insightful glimpse into plant anatomy. Whether you're fascinated by nature's wonders or have an interest in botany and biology, this print from Science Photo Library will undoubtedly captivate your imagination. It offers a unique perspective on the internal structure of plants while highlighting the importance of plasmodesma in sustaining their growth and development.
