Caspase inhibitors affect the kinetics and dimensions of tracheary elements in xylogenic Zinnia (<it>Zinnia elegans</it>) cell cultures
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The xylem vascular system is composed of fused dead, hollow cells called tracheary elements (TEs) that originate through trans-differentiation of root and shoot cambium cells. TEs undergo autolysis as they differentiate and mature. T...
