Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Caffeine in TEM fixation allowed good preservation and embedment of oak ectomycorrhizal short roots.
- Observation Oak mantle cystidia are conically shaped with knobs at their tips and thickened cell walls.
- Observation Outer mantle cells contain many cytoplasmic constituents, more than inner mantle cells.
- Observation Inner mantle cells of oak ectomycorrhizal roots are nearly devoid of cytoplasm.
- Observation Mantle cells of oak ectomycorrhizal roots are held together by an intercellular slime network.
