Mechanical stress in the inner bark of 15 tropical tree species and the relationship with anatomical structure1 Romain Lehnebach, Léopold Doumerc, Bruno Clair, and Tancrède Alméras Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the inner bark is implicated in the postural control of inclined tree stems through the interaction between wood radial growth and tangential expansion of a trellis fiber network in bark. Assessing the taxonomic extent of this mechanism requires a screening of the diversity in bark anatomy and mechanical stress. The mechanical state of bark was measured in 15 tropical tree species from various botanical families on vertical mature trees, and related to the anatomical structure of the bark.

The formation of star-shaped sclereids in the floating leaves of Nymphoides coreana and Nuphar schimadai was studied microscopically. These foliar sclereids were associated with the aerenchyma and found as the form of idioblast. The outer surface of mature sclereids was smooth in Nymphoides, but with many prismatic calcium oxalate crystals in Nuphar. However, the early morphogenesis of these two kinds of sclereids was similar. The sclereid initials were distinguished from the neighboring cells by their distinctly large nucleus. The expanding sclereid initials were constrained by the neighboring cells. Crystal formation in young sclereids of Nuphar started near the cessation of sclereid expansion. The crystals were bounded by crystal sheath and located in crystal chambers between the primary cell wall and plasma membrane. Calcium antimonate precipitates were found, especially on the crystal sheaths as well as between the plasma membrane and the primary cell walls. The crystal chambers have a paracrystalline appearance connected with the crystal sheath and the plasma membrane. After formation of crystals, the secondary wall was deposited and then the crystals became embedded between the primary and secondary walls. The possible functions of the foliage sclereids and the plans for further investigation are discussed.

Most species are parasitic on terrestrial hosts, but a few occur only, or primarily, on other species of Phoradendron. We examined relationships among two obligate epiparasites, P. durangense and P. falcatum, and their parasitic hosts. Fruit and seed of both epiparasites were small compared to those of their parasitic hosts. Seed of epiparasites was established on parasitic-host stems, leaves, and inflorescences. Shoots developed from the plumular region or from buds on the holdfast or subjacent tissue. The developing endophytic system initially consisted of multiple separate strands that widened, merged, and often entirely displaced its parasitic host from the cambial cylinder.

  • Anatomy of the Underground Parts of Four Echinacea-Species and of Parthenium Integrifolium

Langer Institute of Pharmacognosy, University of Vienna Center of Pharmacy, Althanstrasse 14, A - 1090 Vienna, Austria Improved descriptions and detailed drawings of the most important anatomical characters of the roots of Echinacea purpurea (L.) MOENCH,E. angustifolia DC., E. pallida (NuTT.) NUTT.,and of Parfhenium integrifolium L. are presented. The anatomy of the rhizome of E. purpurea, which was detected in commercial samples, and of the root of E. atrorubens NUTT., another known adulteration for pharmaceutically used Echinacea-species, is documented for the first time. The possibilities and limitations of the identification by means of microscopy are discussed. The anatomical differences between the roots of E. angustifolia, E. pallida and E. atrorubens are not sufficient for differentiation, however, root and rhizome of E. purpurea and the root of Parthenium integrifolium appear well characterized. Because of the highly similar anatomy the microscopic proof of identity and purity of crude drugs of Echinacea must be done with uncomminuted material and the examination of cross sections.

  • Response of Avocado Pericarp Tissue to Mechanical Injury
    Proc. of Second World Avocado Congress 1992 pp. 485-488 Response of Avocado Pericarp Tissue to Mechanical Injury C. A. Schroeder Dept. of Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA Abstract. Mechanical injury to avocado (Persea americana Mill.) pericarp will initiate a meristem and the production of periderm. Injury to tissues deep within the pericarp results in cellular differentiation of parenchyma with various degrees of cell wall thickening. Sclereid-like cells with thick, lignified walls and prominent pits can be formed in tissue normally occupied by thin-walled, oil-filled parenchyma. The unique growth and increase in volume of avocado fruit is characterized by continuous cell division in the pericarp tissue from pollination until fruit maturity. Shortly following fruit set, the parenchymatous cells which comprise the major tissue of the pericarp attain a diameter of approximately 50 //m and then undergo mitosis (Schroeder, 1953). Thus cell size is fairly constant and uniform throughout the fleshy pericarp. Larger fruit therefore have more cells than smaller fruit upon reaching maturity. Mitotic activity throughout the pericarp tissue at all times from anthesis to full fruit size is reflected in the high respiratory behavior of the fruit tissue, which is comparable to that of meristematic tissues in general. One can expect meristematic activity in the pericarp tissue at any point in time during fruit development. This has been demonstrated by the successful grafting of nearly mature avocado fruit. Cutting through the thick pericarp of adjacent fruit and holding these together along the cut plane eventually results in development of meristem tissue on the cut surfaces and the union of tissues between the two fruit (Schroeder ef a/., 1959).

  • Problems Encountered in Measuring the Leucoanthocyanin Content of Pears
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF RENATA MAE URY for the M. S. in Foods and Nutrition (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented Q/zA/ 3-3L /9£V Title PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN MEASURING THE LEUCO- ANTHOCYANIN CONTENT OF PEARS Abstract approved (Major professor) (T^ This study explored some of the difficulties involved in measur- ing the leucoanthocyanin content of Bartlett pears by a currently used method which involves extracting the leucoanthocyanin from the plant tissue, converting it to anthocyanidin and measuring the resulting pigment colorimetrically. Both the extraction and the conversion of leucoanthocyanin were investigated. (ethaholic) The effectiveness of five solvents, 70% acetone^ 95% ethanol, methanol, 40% aqueous acetone and 0. 1 N HCl in 40% aqueous acetone, was studied. Acetone extracted approximately 60% of the leucoantho- cyanin, ethanol extracted one-fourth and methanol extracted one- third. The conversion was studied by varying the normality of the de- veloper (HCl in n-butanol), the dispersing medium and the source of leucoanthocyanin (marc, slurry or synthetic leucocyanidin). The conversion appeared to be dependent on interrelations among all three of these factors. For developing the anthocyanidin from marc previously extracted with ethanol, a combination of a dispersing medium of 70% acetone and a normality of 0. 6 was better than ethanol and a normality of either 0. 025 or 0. 6. Seventy percent acetone and 0. 025 N gave the small- est conversion. For developing the anthocyanidin from the slurries, 0. 025 N HC1 in n-butanol was used, as browning occurred due to phlobaphene formation with higher normalities. This normality plus a dispersing medium of 70% acetone gave greater yields of anthocyani- din than did ethanol, methanol or aqueous acetone and 0.
