Abstract: | Summary The cell wall in laticifers of theConvolvulaceae, Calystegia silvatica, C. soldanella, C. tuguriorum, Convolvulus cneorum, C. verecundus, C. sabaticus subsp.mauritanicus, andIpomoea indica, contains an impregnated layer that surrounds the cells. The impregnated layer lies inside the primary wall of the laticifer, separated from the protoplast by a third (tertiary) layer of variable thickness. Histochemical and cytochemical staining give a positive reaction for suberin. The layer is often differentiated into dark and translucent regions, the latter frequently being composed of lamellae. The ultrastructure of this layer and its position within the cell wall of the laticifer is comparable to the condition found in oil cells where the walls contain a suberized layer. A suberized layer within the wall is unique for a laticifer system. |
