Sieve element area and sieve pore formed generally from plasmodesmata. Sieve pore formed by the fusion of several tiny vesicles with plasmodesmata, or those with cell wall after the destruction of special region of newly formed cell wall or those finally with circular arranged form from tissure culture of Streptanthus. The tiny vesicles were produced from dispersed nucleolus or heterochromatin. The sieve area and sieve pore formed from tissue cultured cells were shown round tube form similar to those of natural plants. Sieve area and sieve pore were produced by various methods, and it suggested that the basic materials of the construction of sieve pore originated from the vesicles.
