Its microstructure and basic anatomical characteristics as well as variation were investigated. Results show that: 1)The variation along the height is small, while the variation along the radial direction is significant; 2) The fibre length, fibre ratio and distribution density of the vascular bundles in the cross section decrease from cortex to core, while the fibre width, vessel element length and width, parenchyma ratio, vessel ratio, vascular bundle size and metaxylem vessel diameter in the cross section increase from cortex to core; 3) According to its anatomical structure, the cane properties change greatly from cortex to epidermis, which should be fully considered in its practical utilization.展开更多
