Sclereids are a
reduced form of
sclerenchyma cells with
highly thickened,
lignified cellular walls that form
small bundles of
durable layers of tissue...
- in plants. Two
types of
sclerenchyma cells exist:
fibers cellular and
sclereids.
Their cell
walls consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Sclerenchyma...
- Consequently,
sclereids and
fibres are
typically dead at
functional maturity, and the
cytoplasm is missing,
leaving an
empty central cavity.
