- Observation An apparent mature fusoid cell is typically a cavity left after collapse of the initial cell and derivatives.
- Observation Each cavity is delimited by collapsed fusoid cells perpendicular to veins.
- Observation Fusoid cells in studied Poaceae originate from ground meristem.
- Association The two mesophyll cell types have similar ontogeny but differ in collapse.
- Observation Fusoid cells share meristematic origin across early and later Poaceae lineages and are homologous.
- Observation Poaceae fusoid cells and Joinvilleaceae colourless cells are suggested to be homologous.
- Mechanism Fusoid cells in young grass leaves may synthesize and store starch granules.
