Inter-tracheid and cross-field pitting in compression and opposite wood of... The uniseriate arrangement of bordered pit pairs, unpitted tracheid walls, circular- or often slit-like pit aperture, dominantly piceoid but sometimes cupressoid and occasionally taxodioid cross-field pitting, and a number of fissures on the tracheid walls and bordered pits were...
Ppc-srμct, virtual histological sections of glenrosa carentonensis sp. nov. leaf....Pi.a, pit aperture; Pi.m.,...
Maximum height in a conifer is associated with conflicting requirements for xylem design... In the branches and trunks, the pit aperture diameter of tracheids decreases steadily with height, whereas torus diameter remains relatively constant....
Bordered pit structure and function determine spatial patterns of air-seeding thresholds in xylem of doulglas-fir (pseudotsuga menziesii; pinaceae) trees... Consistent with observations, calculations showed that earlywood tracheids were more resistant to embolismdthan latewood tracheids, mainly from earlywood having stretchier pit membranes that can distend and cover the pit aperture....
