Fine structure of the root nodules of Dryas drummondii Richards (Rosaceae)
The root nodules of Dryas drummondii (common name: mountain avens; Family Rosaceae) possess numerous nodule lobes devoid of nodule roots and thus they exhibit the Alnus-type of nodule morphology. Each nodule lobe possesses a nodule meristem, infected cortical cells, and a central vascular cylinder....
