'''Plant cells''' are the cells present in [[Viridiplantae|green plants]], photosynthetic [[eukaryote]]s of the kingdom [[Plant]]ae. Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large [[vacuole]] that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of [[Flagellum|flagella]] or [[centriole]]s, except in the gametes, and a unique method of cell division involving the formation of a cell plate or [[phragmoplast]] that separates the new daughter cells.
