2. Develop list of anatomy/morphology terms that are missing
Do we need only wood-related terms, or other terms for woody plants?
Terms for PO:
reaction wood
tension wood
compression wood
aggregate ray (also maybe homogenous, heterogenous, uniseriate, multiseriate, fusiform rays)
storied cambium
non-storied cambium and rays
oil cell
ray tracheid
traumatic resin
(apotracheal, paratracheal, marginal, aliform, confluent) axial parenchyma
read review of laticifer cells by Pickering
knot loose and tight
interfascicular cambium
vascular bundle types
inter- and intra-xylary phloem
successive cambium
epithelium cell
ray tracheid and subtypes
cambial zone
square cell
Terms for GO:
pit, pit types, torus, margo, simple, membrane types, tyloses etc.,
casparian strip
mineral inclusions: calcium oxalate, silica, druses
See good description in Eames, also see Esau.
plant secondary cell wall pit: A cavity in a plant secondary cell wall with an pit membrane, open internally to the lumen.
primary cell wall pit: An area of a primary plant cell wall is thin.
The primary wall of the adjacent cell is also thin in the same place.
Except blind pit, which is only on one side.
pit membrane:
simple pit
bordered pit
primary pit field
perforation: the opening between two vessel elements
other suggestions
Add term xylem cell and phloem cell -- XP of cell and part_of xylem of phloem. Can't create terms for secondary xylem or secondary phloem cells, because most of the cell types can appear in both primary and secondary vascular tissue.
Xylem cell should be linked to the definition of pulp and paper (useful for TO)
Terms for gum/latex/resin? Too broadly defined. Could look up specific definitions in ethnobotanical literature, but people may not use them consistently.
