How do the connections between a cell and its neighbours control how a cell responds? (FAULKNER_J27DTP) | Doctoral Training Partnership
Plant cells are connected to their neighbours via ‘tubes’ called plasmodesmata, creating an interconnected cytoplasm that joins cells within and between tissues and organs.
