The limiting diameter of pores in the walls of living plant cells through which molecules can freely pass has been determined by a solute exclusion technique to be 35 to 38 angstroms for hair cells ofRaphanus sativusroots and fibers ofGossypium hirsutum, 38 to 40 angstroms for cultured cells ofAcer pseudoplatanus, and 45 to 52 angstroms for isolated palisade parenchyma cells of the leaves ofXanthium strumariumandCommelina communis. These results indicate that molecules with diameters larger than these pores would be restricted in their ability to penetrate such a cell wall, and that such a wall may represent a more significant barrier to cellular communication than has been previously assumed.
