Shoot apical meristems produce stem tissues, produce leaves, and produce flowers. Cell proliferation characteristics of meristems are dependent upon cell maturation processes and the functions of ...

Scanning electron microscopy of thick hand sections of the giant thick-stemmed grasses Arundo donax and Phyllostachys aurea was used to see how the primary xylem of a monocot with pronounced basal ...

Xylem vessel pits are tiny openings on the cell wall of water-conducting cells—with pit geometry influencing crop yield through its effect on plant hydraulics and nitrogen transport. Researchers from ...
