Cortical microtubule involvement in bordered pit formation in secondary xylem vessel elements of Aesculus hippocastanum L. (Hippocastanaceae) : a correlative study using electron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy
TL;DR: A correlative study, using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy of anti-α-tubulin stained sections and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), gave details of the involvement of cortical microtubules (CMTs) in the development of bordered pits in secondary xylem vessel elements of Aesculus hippocastanum L.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualization of the cytoskeleton within the secondary vascular system of hardwood species
TL;DR: A single fixation technique has been devised to demonstrate localization of α‐tubulin and F‐actin within the secondary vascular system of hardwood trees by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using butyl‐methylmethacrylate‐embedded material.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cytoskeletal basis for wood formation in angiosperm trees: the involvement of microfilaments.
TL;DR: Investigation of the cortical microfilament component of the cytoskeleton within axial elements of the secondary vascular system of the angiosperm tree reveals that this axial orientation can be more accurately described as a helix of extremely high pitch; it is a persistent feature of all axial secondary vascular elements during their development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total evidence phylogeny of Pontederiaceae (Commelinales) sheds light on the necessity of its recircumscription and synopsis of Pontederia L.
TL;DR: A total evidence phylogeny for Pontederiaceae is presented based on new morphological and previously published molecular data, which led to Pontederia to be re-circumscribe to include Monochoria, Pontederias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological anatomy and function of the membranous grass ligule.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the evidence, assesses the validity of both the passive and active hypotheses of membranous ligule function and notes similarities between membranously grass ligules, root caps and lycopsid ligules.
