From: The cytological changes of tobacco zygote and proembryo cells induced by beta-glucosyl Yariv reagent suggest the involvement of arabinogalactan proteins in cell division and cell plate formation

A hypothetical model for how AGPs involve in early proembryo cells division. (A) A possible in vivo model of cell plate formation. Cellulose synthesized by a complex of cellulose synthases (CSAs) on plasma membrane. Pectin and hemicellulose synthesized and secreted through the endomembrane system. Some types of AGPs anchor to membrane and some were directly secreted into cell wall space. Cytoskeleton networks transport endocytic vesicles to the correct site under the plasma membrane. (B) A possible in vitro model under β-GlcY treatment. β-GlcY reagent binds with AGPs to form an AGP-β-GlcY complex. Cell wall components and cytoskeleton network could be disorganized with β-GlcY treatment, which affects new cell plate formation.
