- Abstract
- Cell-cell adhesion is a fundamental feature of multicellular organisms. In plants, cellcell adhesion is mediated by the cell wall surrounding the cell. In other words, when we scale down to the cellular level, adjacent cell walls are linked to each other through a middle lamella which is believed to be very important for cell adhesion. However, it is still unclear what structural role the middle lamella plays in this process and whether other structures of the cell wall are involved. A precise characterization of cell-cell adhesion in plants is still lacking. Here, I will present our recent observations obtained using different types of electron microscopy techniques (i.e SEM and TEM). Additionally, I will also try to show how we try to combine different microscopy techniques such as fluorescence microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and SEM in order to gain further insight into plant cell adhesion.
