Abstract

In article number 1900644, Notburga Gierlinger and co-workers discover a new cell type in walnut shells. The polylobate sclereid cell is visualized during development and, based on X-ray tomography, the 3D-puzzle shape confirmed. The intricate interlocking between the puzzle cells is proven to result in higher ultimate tensile strength.
