Anatomical Cross-section of a Young Cupuaç Tree (<i>Theobroma grandiflorum</i>) (IMAGE)
Caption
Anatomical cross-section of a young Cupuaç tree (Theobroma grandiflorum), grown staked and artificially tilted. In the center, the fragile tissues of the pith. Around it, the wood, which is more developed on the upper side, and whose tissue is very rich in parenchyma and almost devoid of fibers. Lastly, on the outside, the bark, which is more developed on the upper side, with bundles of fiber trellises organized into safranin-red flames, set apart by dilated parenchyma cells (colored in Astra blue). Width: 8 mm; height: 10.3 mm.
