For example, fibriform cells are not considered to be flow cells.

Strength in mechanical cells of wood is conferred by helical cellulose microfibrils in a lignified background in secondary walls, but also, quite significantly, by cementing substances between fibriform cells.

Thus, the interruption of fibriform tissue by rays would decrease strength.

The same indefinite longevity of fibriform cells can be cited for Nerium oleander of the Apocynaceae (Fig.

The idea that ontogenetic changes in ray, axial parenchyma, and tracheary elements (fibriform cells, including tracheids; vessel elements) can be shifted toward herbaceous modes or woodier modes (Carlquist, 1962, 2009; Carlquist, 2013a, b) places us in a new perspective.

Raylessness in this case may be considered an initial emphasis on mechanical strength of fibriform cells over parenchyma cells designed for radial flow, followed by a balance between the two.

Before being exposed to magnesium sulfate solution, typical reaction products of OPCC, such as crystalline Ca[(OH).sub.2], floc, and fibriform hydrated calcium silicate gel, could be seen in Figure 13.

Morphologies of control cells showed that rat cardiac myocytes were fusiform, fibriform, and polygon under inverted microscope, and they were well spread on the surface of cell plate (Figure 4(a)).

(5) It is possible that the numerous fibriform impressions on the inner surface result from supporting the body of the vessel with a grass wisp while making the textile impression.

Libriform fibers in Brassicales may be considered, in agreement with the Bailey and Tupper (1918) scheme, to be an imperforate tracheary element type in which borders have been lost from pits on fibriform cells.

These connect to fibriform tracheids that bear circular pits with prominent borders.

These circular pits connect to fibriform tracheids with circular bordered pits (unpublished data).
