Parenchyma cells

Mature parenchyma cells have primary walls that are relatively thin and flexible, and most lack secondary walls

Mature parenchyma cells have a large central vacuole

Rho GTPases are the “master builders” of the cell because they can activate an array of kinases and cytoskeletal binding proteins that remodel cytoskeletal elements to alter cell shape and movement

Planar Cell Polarity 

direct cells to divide in the same plane (rather than forming upper and lower tissue compartments) and to move within that same plane
