The functional role of xylem parenchyma cells and aquaporins during recovery from severe water stress
Xylem parenchyma cells [vessel associated cells (VACs)] constitute a significant fraction of
the xylem in woody plants. These cells are often closely connected with xylem vessels or …

Vessel‐associated cells in angiosperm xylem: highly specialized living cells at the symplast–apoplast boundary
Background Vessel‐associated cells (VAC s) are highly specialized, living parenchyma cells
that are in direct contact with water‐conducting, dead vessels. The contact may be sparse or …
