Developmental and Dimensional Changes in the Cambial Fusiform Initials ofHoloptelea integrifolia (Roxb.) Planch.

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

Divisional activity, intrusive growth of the cell wall and loss of fusiform initials have been studied in Holoptelea integrifolia. The dimensional changes in relation to mean length, length frequency, mean width and length variation in relation to fibre length have also been analysed.
