Global InformationDesmotubule information
A desmotubule is an endomembrane derived structure of the plasmodesmata that connects the endoplasmic reticulum of two adjacent plant cells.[1][2] The desmotubule is not actually a tubule, but a compact, cylindrical segment of ER that is found within the larger tubule structure of the plasmodesmata pore.[3] Some, but not all, transport of the plasmodesmata occurs through the desmotubule.[4]
