Question

What are tyloses and Explain?

Answer 1

Tyloses are outgrowths on parenchyma cells of xylem vessels of secondary heartwood. When the plant is stressed by drought or infection, tyloses will fall from the sides of the cells and "dam" up the vascular tissue to prevent further damage to the plant.

In many dicot plants, the lumen of the xylem vessels is blocked by many balloon - like ingrowths from the neighbouring parenchymatous cells. These balloon-like structures are called ᴛʏʟᴏsᴇs.
