The size of molecules that can pass through plasmodesmata is determined by the size exclusion limit.
12.
Evidence also exists for the directed transport and sorting of macromolecules as they pass through plasmodesmata ."

:This paper discusses alfalfa mosaic virus movement proteins moving through the plasmodesmata of onion epidermis cells.
14.
The main mechanisms involve expressing proteins which coat the virus and interact with the structure of the plasmodesmata.
15.
When the virus infects TGB 1, it allows for the virus to move easily through the plasmodesmata.
16.
I'm trying to image strips of plant cells connected by plasmodesmata by Differential interference contrast microscopy.
17.
The companion cells, connected to the sieve tubes via plasmodesmata, are responsible for loading the phloem with sugars.
18.
The plasmodesmata allow the direct flow of small molecules such as sugars, amino acids, and ions between cells.
19.
These newly synthesized viral particles are subsequently transported through the plasmodesmata to adjacent plant cells via several assisting potyvirus proteins.
20.
Structures, called plasmodesmata, have been identified that do function as channels that interconnect plant cells and stromules interconnect plastids.
