Paraveinal mesophyll cell

Tranbarger, T.J., et al. (1991) The soybean 94-kilodalton vegetative storage protein is a lipoxygenase that is localized in paraveinal mesophyll cell vacuoles. Plant Cell 3, 973-987... 

Vascular Anatomy. One aspect of the translocation system that is often overlooked is the influence of the structural features of the plant s vascular system on solute transport. For example, although much of what is known about phloem loading has been derived from a few dicotyledon leaves, all dicotyledon leaves are not similar. A notable example is the soybean leaf. Soybean leaves are specialized in that they have a unique cell type called the paraveinal mesophyll... 

These limited cellular responses were also present in paraveinal and spongy mesophyll cells. Although cell hypertrophy was greatest in spongy mesophyll cells, these cells eventually collapsed with continued exposure to simulated acid rain.
