The walls of sieve tubes develop into sieve plates together getting associated with _________.
Options
- AChiasmata
- BPlasmodesmata
- CTractile fibres
- DUltra-cellular strands
Correct answer
B. Plasmodesmata
Step-by-step solution
The plasmodesmata act as channels between the cell walls of adjacent plant cells. They are mainly involved in transport and cell to cell recognition. Structurally, the sieve tubes wall is dispersed with plasmodesmata and are grouped together. Later, these areas of the tube walls and plasmodesmata develop into sieve plates.
