Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of tracheary elements in amborella trichopoda
Taylor S. Feild,Maciej A. Zweiniecki,Timothy J. Brodribb,Tanguy Jaffre,Michael J. Donoghue,N. Michele Holbrook +5 more
TL;DR: The xylem of A. trichopoda appears to be functionally vesselless, with the caveat that connections between individual vascular elements may occasionally be open (i.e., lacking in at least one pit membrane).
Journal ArticleDOI
The primary thickening meristem: definition and function in monocotyledons'
TL;DR: The PTM should be defined as a diffuse primary meristem which decreases in cross-sectional extent (i.e., becomes a thinner-walled cylinder) in a basipetal direction and consists of cell initials that divide predominantly in periclinal planes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the experimental blockage of the major veins on hydraulics and gas exchange of Prunus laurocerasus L. leaves
Andrea Nardini,Sebastiano Salleo +1 more
TL;DR: Stomata were very sensitive to changes in K(L), gas exchange and water potential and that stomatal closure led to the homeostatic maintenance of Psi(L) and cavitation avoidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and distribution of tracheoidal elements in the Orchidaceae.
O. A. Olatunji,R. O. Nengim +1 more
TL;DR: The tracheoidal elements are similar in structure: they all possess annular, spiral, reticulate or pitted secondary wall thickenings in the different species and these variations may be of some taxonomic use within the Orchidaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Bark Anatomy of Root and Stem in Styrax Camporum (Styracaceae)
TL;DR: Root wood of Styrax camporum has more specialized features than stem wood, and additional comparative studies of stem and root anatomy are needed to determine if such differences between root and stem anatomy are widespread, and consistent with the lines of specialization observed in monocotyledons.
