Graniferous Tracheary Elements in the Haustorium of Osyris arborea Wall. (Santalaceae)

Influence of the host on three sub‐Arctic annual facultative root hemiparasites

“…which showed tbat the mistletoe Facultative root hemiparasites often have a wide host Phoradendrou californicum growing on the nitrogenrange, and may form haustorial connections with a fixing tree Acacia greggii had a greater total twig number of difTerent species of host plant (Fineran & length, a greater number of twigs, and a greater Hocking, 1983;Niranjana & Shivamurthy, 1987; average length of the current-year twig than the Gibson & Watkinson, 1989). Differences bave been related P.juniperinuin growing on the non-fixing tree reported in the sizes of hemiparasites growing on Jiiniperus osteosperma.…”

Anatomy and Functional Status of Haustoria in Field Grown Sandalwood Tree (<i>Santalum album</i> L.)

“…It was observed that the granules occur in short vessel elements and in imperforate cells which are thought to represent a specialized type of tracheid. Earlier studies 7 also detected that in haustorium of Osyrisarborea, a distinct interrupted zone was present above the vascular core. The majority of xylem elements observed in the vascular core was perforated 7 .…”

“…Earlier studies 7 also detected that in haustorium of Osyrisarborea, a distinct interrupted zone was present above the vascular core. The majority of xylem elements observed in the vascular core was perforated 7 . It was suggested that these graniferous tracheary elements function in the regulation of pressure and flow of sap 7 .…”

“…The majority of xylem elements observed in the vascular core was perforated 7 . It was suggested that these graniferous tracheary elements function in the regulation of pressure and flow of sap 7 . Vascular connectivity between sandal and host root through haustoria was also reported earlier.…”
