Light microscopical studies on salt gland development in Tamarix aphylla L
1984
Bosabalidis, A.M. | Thomson, W.W.
Young branches and leaves of Tamarix aphylla L. have many epidermal salt glands, and each salt gland originates from a single protodermal cell which divides anticlinally to give rise to two equally-sized daughter cells. The latter further undergo two successive asynchronous, asymmetrical divisions resulting in the formation of six, densely cytoplasmic, secretory cells. In the next developmental stage, two inner, vacuolated parenchyma cells adjacent and adherent to the inner secretory cells progressively transform to what have been termed in the literature the collecting cells of the glands. Thus, it appears at maturity that the glands consist of eight cells, and all eight cells may be directly involved in the secretory process.
