e0“We used X-ray CT-scanning and light microscopy to investigate the internal development (i) over time and (ii) with hypocotyl height in seedlings of the mangrove species Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Ceriops tagal”
e4“A decrease in average density of all tissues together with height was discerned in both species”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Vascular tissue proportion increased over time and with hypocotyl height in both mangrove species.
- Association Cortex proportion decreased over time and with height in both mangrove species.
- Association No clear trend over time or with height was observed in the proportion of pith tissue in both mangrove species.
- Method / resource X-ray CT-scanning allowed non-destructive investigation of internal tissue development of living seedlings over time, where light microscopy needs destructive sections.
