Companion cells are specialised parenchymatous cells, closely associated with sieve tube elements and connected by pit fields; they help in maintaining the pressure gradient in the sieve tubes.
Le cellule compagne sono specializzate cellule parenchimatiche associate agli elementi cribrosi, collegate da campi di punte; aiutano a mantenere il gradiente di pressione nei tubi cribrosi.
| Text | The companion cells are specialised parenchymatous cells, which
are closely associated with sieve tube elements. The sieve tube elements and companion cells are connected by pit fields present between their common longitudinal walls. The companion cells help in maintaining the pressure gradient in the sieve tubes. |
