Zinnia xylogenic culture. Single Zinnia mesophyll cells can differentiate directly into tracheary elements in the presence of auxin and cytokinin within 3 days. A: Zinnia elegans plants. B: A differential interference contrast (Nomarski) image of an isolated Zinnia mesophyll cell, which contains many chloroplasts. C: A confocal image of a tracheary element that is differentiating from a mesophyll cell in culture. The cell contains spiral secondary wall bands (green) and chloroplasts (red). D: Time course of tracheary element differentiation in mesophyll cell culture. E: Rotating drum for culturing mesophyll cells.
