Cytoplasmic Division in Plant Cells

Cytoplasmic Division in Plant Cells
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The future plane of division was established before mitosis began. Vesicles cluster here when mitosis ends.

As the vesicles fuse with each other, they form a cell plate along the plane of division.

The cell plate expands outward along the plane of division. When it reaches the plasma membrane, it attaches to the membrane and partitions the cytoplasm.


The cell plate matures as two new cell walls. These walls join with the parent cell wall, so each descendant cell becomes enclosed by its own cell wall.
