Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...xylem part or to the pericycle and cortex for storage, and reserves the bulk of the nitrogenous forms for itself. This fact stands sharply out when a cross section of stem taken in autumn or late summer is placed in a drop of iodine solution. The part of the rays between the phloem strands is then colored yellowish or brown because of its proteid content, and the xylem part is blue or almost black, due to the abundance of its starch. The wood parenchyma, which is the predominant tissue in the xylem of many herbaceous plants, and occurs in greater or less abundance in the wood of trees and shrubs, assists the medullary rays in the storage of non-nitrogenous foods, and almost the whole of fleshy roots and stems is composed of these two tissues, which there maintain the storage function. So long as the medullary rays and wood parenchyma remain living they retain the power and habit of storing food. In trees that have heartwood and sapwood all tissues are dead in the heartwood. In other kinds of trees where heartwood is not formed the medullary rays and wood parenchyma may be alive from bark to pith, even in trees that are fifty or more years old. The rule is, however, that most of the stored food occurs in the younger parts of the wood. The phloem parenchyma, like the phloem part of the medullary rays, stores up nitrogenous food reserves, and apparently for this purpose it is longer-lived than the other tissues of the phloem, living on sometimes for ten years or more when the sieve tubes and companion cells produced at the same time have long since died. The thin-walled parenchyma cells of the cortex and pericycle store up both nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous foods, and with them in this the collenchyma is often associated, and altogether they constitute a ver...
