While both plant and animal cells are eukaryotes that undergo open mitosis, the two processes differ a lot. Plants, unable to divide through cleavage, do so by building a new cell wall across the middle the the cell. As such, they don't dismantle their secretory apparatus, and build a structure known as the phragmoplast which acts as scaffolding for the new cell wall.

    which acts as scaffolding for the new cell wall. In addition, lacking centrioles, the nuclear envelope of a
    plant cell takes on the job of generating the mitotic spindle fibers.
