Apoplast and symplast mechanism
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 9 months ago

Apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane consisting of intercellular spaces where the material diffuses freely. It does not involve protoplasm in the plant tissues but involves the non-living parts of the plant such as cell wall and intercellular spaces.

The pathways of ion and water created by symplast are known as the symplastic pathway. This pathway offers resistance to the flow of water since the selective plasma membrane of the root cells handles the intake of ion and water. Moreover, symplasty is affected by metabolic states of the root. The symplastic route occurs beyond the endodermis in plants with secondary growth.
