The relationship between nitrogen (N) sources and photosynthetic capacity of leaf differs between species. However, the leaf anatomical variabilities related to photosynthesis (A) of shrubs under different forms of N remain imperfectly known. Here, Lonicera Japonica (a shrub) was grown hydroponically in the presence of three forms of N (sole NH4+, 50%/50% NH4+/NO3– and sole NO3–). A and photosynthetic N use efficiency significantly decreased under sole NH4+ supply, in parallel with down-regulated stomatal conductance (gs), mesophyll conductance (gm), and electron transfer rate (J). Up to the total A decline of 41.28% in sole NH4+ supply (compare with sole NO3–), the gm attributed to 60.3% of the total limitations. Besides, the decreased internal air space explained the increase of gas-phase resistance, and the increased liquid-phase resistance in sole NH4+ supply was ascribed to the thicker cell wall thickness (Tcw) and decreased chloroplasts exposed surface area per unit leaf area (Sc/S). The discrepancy of Sc/S could be interpreted by the altered chloroplasts numbers and the distance between adjacent chloroplasts (Dchl-chl). These results indicate the alteration of Tcw and chloroplast numbers were the main causes of the difference in gm in coping with varied N sources.

The origin and structure are described of the secondary protective tissue in the stem of Erythorxylum tortuosum Mart., a fire tolerant shrubby species common in Brazilian cerrado. The highly tortuous stems are covered with thick bark which is more developed at the base of the stem. After fire in the cerrado, rhytidome fragments of the burned stem flake off, revealing newly formed cork. The first periderm appears near of the terminal buds and is iniated by periclinal divisions in subepidermal cells giving rise to radial rows of cells. The first phellogen is discernible only after the differentiation of the several radial rows of cork cells. Other phellogens have their origin in successively deeper layers of the cortex. The sucessive periderms are discontinuous around the circumference. The collapsed cells with phenolic substances and the accumulated dead cells cause the formation of discontinuous blackish lines, which delimit the sucessive periderms in the rhytidome. The rhytidome contains large quantities of sclereids developed from cell wall thickening of cortex cells. The occurrence of periderm in the young parts of the stem and of rhytidome in the older parts represents pyrophytic characteristics and may explain, in part, the fire tolerance of this species.

Tissue in Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pinto bean bordering local lesions induced by tobacco mosaic virus showed cell wall deposition associated with paramural body formation in a narrow ring of viable cells extending one to three cell diameters around the lesions. Deposition, which led to secondary cell wall thickening, was greatest 3–4 days after inoculation, the time when the lesion stopped expanding. Secondary cell wall thickening, of similar appearance but less pronounced, was seen in tissue bordering local lesions which continued to expand; no significant secondary cell wall thickening was observed in leaves with a nonlocalized infection. Cells bordering mechanical lesions differed markedly in fine structure from cells bordering virus and chemical lesions. It is suggested that the deposition of extra cell wall material in the wall regions of cells bordering fully expanded local lesions is associated with virus localization.
