Differentiation of vascular tissues. A: Cross section in bright-field microscopy of the lateral edge 50 days after wounding. Healing vascular tissues show a high proportion of resin ducts (arrowheads), axial parenchyma and irregular shaped tracheids (asterisk). B-C: Cross sections after staining with aniline blue for callose detection in bright-field (B) and fluorescence microscopy (C) showing the presence of differentiated secondary phloem (arrow).
