Symplast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The symplast of a plant is the inner side of the plasma membrane in which water (and low molecular solutes) can freely diffuse. It is the collection of all interconnected cytoplasm and nuclei of an individual plant and is interrupted by the plasma membrane only, although some authors prefer to exclude the central vacuoles. It aids in symplastic transport to transport across the endodermis.
