The stem anatomy of Passiflora edulis, P. foetida, P. suberosa, P. subpeltata, and P. vesicaria was studied in samples collected in Durban (KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa) and Baroda (Vadodara, Gujarat State, India). Radial stem growth in all the species is realized by a single, bidirectional vascular cambium. However, unequal activity in small segments of the cambial cylinder results in a lobed stem outline in P. foetida var. ellisonii, and a furrowed xylem cylinder in P. edulis f. edulis and P. vesicaria var. vesicaria. In P. subpeltata and P. edulis f. flavicarpa the xylem remains cylindrical in outline. In all the species investigated, secondary xylem is diffuse-porous with growth rings indistinct or absent. In transverse view, vessels are round to oval with different diameter categories, including very narrow fibriform vessels intermixed. In P. edulis f. edulis, stems are lobed due to the unidirectional activity of the cambium in small segments. Rays are mostly both narrow (1–3-seriate) and wide (multiseriate). The latter often become aggregate at some distance from the pith.

Rab GTPases are the subfamily of the small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins which participated in the regulation of various biological processes. Recent studies have found that plant Rabs play some specific functions. However, the functions of Rabs in xylem development in trees remain unclear. In this study, functional identification of PagRabE1b in Populus was performed. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that PagRabE1b was highly accumulated in stems, especially in phloem and xylem tissues. Overexpression of PagRabE1b in poplar enhanced programmed cell death (PCD) and increased the growth rate and the secondary cell wall (SCW) thickness. Quantitative analysis of monosaccharide content showed that various monosaccharides were significantly increased in secondary xylem tissues of the overexpressed lines. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the number of apoptotic cells in PagRabE1b-OE lines is more than a wild type (WT), which indicated that PagRabE1b may play an important role in PCD. Further studies showed that overexpression of PagRabE1b increased the expression level of genes involved in SCW biosynthesis, PCD, and autophagy. Collectively, the results suggest that PagRabE1b plays a positive role in promoting the xylem development of poplar.
