The Occurrence of Mesocarpic Stone Cells in the Fruit of Cultivated Highbush Blueberry

Year: 1983

Type: article

Abstract: Stone cells of highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) were distributed primarily toward the periphery of the fruit; they apparently differentiated from ground parenchyma shortly after anthesis. Secondary cell wall material continued to be accreted through harvest, with lamellations about 1μm in width. The lignified walls were heavily pitted, with pits contiguous with those of adjacent stone cells. The number of stone cells may be correlated positively to the length of the growth season for each cultivar.
