Quantitative results of the elemental analysis of cell wall, tyloses and starch grains. Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) distribution in cell wall, tyloses and starch grains observed in stem cross-sections of Leccino and Cellina di Nardò. The atomic percentages of C and O in the observed grains showed statistically significant differences in comparison with the cell wall composition of the xylem vessel according to Student t-test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). The observed masses hypothesized to be tyloses exhibited no differences when compared with the cell wall composition.
