Fig. 2. Cross‐sections of the pedicel of Marisol clementine. A, On 24 April, 24 DAA, showing the presence of discrete vascular bundles. Between some of the vascular bundles initial formation of a vascular cambium has begun. B, On 7 May, 37 DAA. The activity of the cambium has resulted in the formation of a continuous vascular cylinder. C, On 2 October, 180 DAA, showing a stem‐like structure. Vessels differentiate immediately beneath the vascular cambium in the late‐formed xylem. C, vascular cambium; E, cutinized epidermis; OG, oil gland; P, pith; PP, primary phloem; PX, primary xylem; SP, secondary phloem; X, xylem. Bars = 1mm.
