| Title |
Analysis of circular bordered pit function II. Gymnosperm tracheids with torus-margo pit membranes |
| Date |
2004 |
| Description |
A model of xylem conduit function was applied to gymnosperm tracheids with torus-margo pit membranes for comparison with angiosperm vessels. Tracheids from 17 gymnosperm tree species with circular bordered pits and air-seed pressures from 0.8 to 11.8 MPa were analyzed. Tracheids were more reinforced against implosion than vessels, consistent with their double function in transport and support. |
