Please see the attached image for the reference. I have been seeing these cells in the Arabidopsis thaliana seed (post germination) whenever I go for microscopy. The cells are attached to seed coat and they are alive for more than a week.
I did a google search using image and got no relevant results.
I am very curious what are these cells and I will be thankful if could suggest me what is the term used for these cells or any other relevant information.
Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman Hi! thanks for replying. Earlier I read about seed mucilage and as I understand mucilage is the collective term used for the secretion by seed during germination. I am looking for specific term for these cells in the image.
Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman Thanks! I looked for MSCs (Mucilage Secretory cells) and I was hoping to see some images like the one I posted, images with free floating MScs but I couldn't find anywhere. I hope the cells I am seeing in image are MSCs. I am trying to look for information if MSCs are viable for many days post germination. I will be glad if you could provide me some link.
