Plant mesophyll cell shapes of Théroux-Rancourt, Voggeneder, Tholen

Plant cells extracted from microCT scans of spongy and palisade cells of several angiosperm species analyzed in the commentary on Harwood et al. (2019, doi:10.1111/nph.16219) by Théroux-Rancourt, Voggeneder, and Tholen.<br>Images are compressed 8-bit binary tif stacks of cells and mathematical objects. ImageJ metadata includes resolution/scale of the scan. A scale was also associated to the mathematical objects to make their volume and surface area in a similar range to the plant cells, though of no biological significance.<br>Species included in this dataset, with mesophyll cell types in parenthesis:<i>Diplotaxis tenuifolia</i> (palisade)<br><i>Glycine max </i>(spongy and palisade)<br><i>Hedera helix</i> (spongy and palisade)<br><i>Nicotiana tabacum </i>(spongy and palisade)<br><i>Populus maximowiczi x P. nigra</i> (lower spongy, upper spongy, palisade)<br><i>Quercus robur </i>(spongy and palisade)<i>Crassula ovata</i> (spongy)<br>Mathematical objects are:<i>Sphere of 498 pixels radius</i><i>Capsule</i><br><br>If you use this dataset, please cite the associated publication:Théroux‐Rancourt, G., Voggeneder, K. and Tholen, D.
