Radial Penetration of Safranine in Populus tomentiglandulosa T. Lee

초록

An experiment was conducted to observe the safranine penetration depth in radial directions of Populus tomentiglandulosa. Radial penetration was considered from bark to pith. In radial direction, ray parenchyma and intercellular space were considered for the measurement of safranine penetration depth. It was found that sapwood conducted safranine 24.23% higher in radial direction compared with heartwood. Intercellular space conducted safranine 39.27% higher depth compared with ray parenchyma and the penetration depth was 39.41% higher in sapwood compared to heartwood. During safranine penetration, it formed a curvature in the lumen of ray parenchyma. Initially safranine penetration was found high and decreased gradually.
