Due to the presence of a cell wall, plant cells are fixed within their tissue context and cannot move relative to each other during development. Plants thus need to rely on directed cell elongation and cell division to generate a full three-dimensional (3D) structure. Intrinsic polarity cues and cellular communication provide spatial information to plant cells and establishes their position relative to the tissue context and the axis of growth.

We are currently working on a new version of our on-line portal. Meanwhile the old site is still operational and available via this link: www.single-cell.be/plant

The Plant Single-Cell Platform at PSB is committed to implementing novel single-cell technologies for both model species and crops.
