. . . . . . . . . "A leaf gap is a space in the stem of a plant through which the leaf grows. The leaf is connected to the stem by the leaf trace, which grows through the leaf gap. The leaf gap is a break in the vascular tissue of a stem above the point of attachment of a leaf trace. It exists in the nodal region of the stem as a \"gap in the continuity of the primary vascular cylinder above the level where a leaf trace diverges toward a leaf. This gap is filled with parenchyma tissue\"."@en . . "Leaf gap"@en . . . . . "1287"^^ . . . . . . . . . . "21451108"^^ . . . . . . "998949590"^^ . .
