Talk about laticiferous tissue

Laticiferous tissue is a living tissue containing secretory tubes (laticifers) elaborating the latex; a milky white (e.g. in lettuce, fig) or colored (e.g. brown yellow in cannabis, yellow in celandine and red in bloodroot) viscous liquid (very complex mixture containing water, sugar, mineral salts, organic acids, enzymes, etc.). Some forms of latex are commercially very important: rubber, chewing gums, medicinal drugs… The laticifers are limited by a cellulosic primary wall. Their cytoplasm forms a thin layer surrounding a large central vacuole containing latex.
