The occurrence and morphology of perforated ray cells in eight Yunnan hardwoods were investigated using SEM, and the micromorphology of their perforation plates compared with those in the vessel member end walls. In most cases the perforation plates were dimorphic with the total area of the openings in the perforated ray cells sm aller than the perforation plates in the vessel member ends.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
