Stars indicate membrane-bound compartments one of which appears as a bleb from the plasmalemma. Side wall between two vessel members with differentiating helical thickenings that appear in sections. The cell to the right is more advanced in development than the one to the left as is indicated by larger amount of secondary wall deposition. Open arrows point to vesicles between plasmalemma and secondary wall. In the older cell, the secondary wall is marked swl, in the younger sw22.

Body with small vesicles at bv. In the older cell, the primary wall is partly hydrolyzed and some protoplast residue coats the secondary wall. Open arrows indicate extent of connection between primary and secondary walls. Vessel member above, parenchyma cell below. The primary wall is partly hydrolyzed in the vessel member.
