- Making Plants Break a Sweat: the Structure, Function, and Evolution of Plant Salt Glands

Representative cellular organization of distinct salt gland structures found in angiosperms. Drawings are based on consensus representations of species specific salt gland structures. References used to create consensus figures for each type are given in Table 1. The cells that constitute the salt gland are colored while the adjacent cells are kept blank. The continuous cuticle around the salt gland is also colored and changed to blank when the cuticle overlays the surrounding epidermis. The dynamic intracellular structures such as vacuoles, vesicles, and laminated membranes are not depicted in the representative figures. Collecting cell (Col), secretory cell (Sec), basal cell (BC), sub-basal cell (SBC), stalk cell (ST).
