1. Gap junctions are analogous to the plasmodesmata that join plant cells. 2. The analogues of communicative cell junctions in plants are called plasmodesmata . 3. Plants also reduce transport through plasmodesmata in response to injury. 4. Also how far back the plant lineage are plasmodesmata present? 5. Several models for possible active transport through plasmodesmata exist. 6. Neither virus particles nor viral genomic nucleic acid can pass through plasmodesmata unaided. 7. A similar mechanism may be involved in transporting viral nucleic acids through the plasmodesmata . 8. Movement proteins modify the plasmodesmata by one of two well-understood molecular mechanisms. 9. The viroid enters the cell via its plasmodesmata . 10. Plasmodesmata usually only allow the passage of small diffusible molecules, such as various metabolites.
