When I saw your question, I assumed wood, but of course you could be
thinking other plant parts.  There are lots of secretory structures
in dicotyledon wood, but I don't think they are homologous to the
resin ducts in conifers.

For more information on secretory structures, see Carlquist, S. 1988.

A querry: Are resin canals found in some gymnosperm genera analogous and/or
homologous to the secretory canals/cells present in some angiosperms?

Many thanks.
