Esteemed and much more knowledgeable colleagues,
In botany lab, we did a phloroglucinol staining of pear to visualize =
the
sclerids. A student asked a rather impertinent question about the =
function
of these stone cells. I have not a clue what their role is. Any =
hypotheses
or ideas or known role?
Thanks.
