anatomy mantle cross-section tannin cells mean tangential length TCt

unit: µm

Only a whole number should be given as a value, e.g. 72 µm. The dimensions of tannin cells are extremely variable depending upon their distance from the root tip, and whether they are formed by the outer row or by the second row of root cells, and also regarding the tree genus involved in the formation of ectomycorrhizae. Up to now, only very limited information is available about the influence of the fungus on the shape and dimensions of tannin cells. Possibly, this feature can be disregarded.
