Abstract
Cells of the resting cambium contain vesiculate smooth endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes, oil droplets, and protein bodies. There are comparatively few vacuoles, and these are small. The nucleus is fairly central within the cell and is surrounded by a cluster of plastids and mitochondria. Active cambial cells and young differentiating xylem elements are highly vacuolate, contain rough endoplasmic reticulum and polyribosomes, the Golgi apparatus is active in the production of vesicles, and the distribution of organelles is a function of the vacuolation of the cell.Keywords
