OIK-06451.R2 data

Baseline anatomical data of characteristic features on stem cross-section of primarily Cyperaceae and Poaceae. The features are defined by the outline of the stem (culm), the structure of the epidermis, the arrangement of vascular bundles, the form and size of chlorenchyma (assimilatory tissue), the peripheral sclerenchymatic belt, the sclerenchymatic girders, the sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles and cavities (intercellulars) in the parenchymatic tissues and vessel size and the presence of cavities in the protophloem of vascular bundles. The following features are principally based on Metcalfe C R. 1960 Anatomy of the Monocotyledons l. Gramineae. Oxford Clarendron Press. 731 pg; and Metcalfe C R. 1971. Anatomy of the Monocotyledons V Cyperaceae. Oxford Clarendron Press. 597 pg.
