Caption: Fig. 5. Lessingianthus floccosus. (A and B) General view of the underground system indicates the sectioned regions (continuous line) corresponding to (C–F; line 1) and (G–I; line 2). (C–I) Transversal sections of the root. (C and D) Pe, periderm; CP, cortical parenchyma with Casparian strips (arrows) on endoderm (En); SP, secondary phloem; C, cambium; and SX, secondary xylem. (E) Endodermic cells with lipophilic content. (F) Inulin crystals visualized under polarized light in the parenchyma cells of the secondary phloem. (G) General view of the root. PX, primary xylem; SX, secondary xylem; SP, secondary phloem; En, endoderm; and CP, cortical parenchyma. (H) Parenchymatic cell divisions in various planes (arrows). (I) Detail of protoxylem poles (ovals). Scale bars: (C, D, H, and I) 50 µm; (E and G) 100 µm; and (F) 25 µm. (This figure is available in colour online.)
