Seedlings of Lepidium sativum L. (cress) were germinated and grown under ten different growth conditions to assess the effects of environment on root stelar parenchyma development. Stelar parenchyma did not undergo autolysis in any of the treatments, refuting an earlier suggestion that certain ‘prostelar’ cells (cells adjacent to primary xylem and primary phloem) are replaced by cambial derivatives.
