Plants Plant: terrestrial (mostly), multicellular, photoautotrophic, eukaryote, true tissues and organs
Plant Structure Tissue Basic Tissue Types: pg 717 - give rise to specialized cells • Dermal - outer coat • Vascular – transport tubes • Ground – between Dermal and Vascular
Basic Tissue Layout Dermal Ground Vascular
Dermal tissue Ground tissue Vascular tissue
Dermal Tissue • Epidermis • Function: protection: secretes the cuticle, forms prickles and root hairs
Thorns, Spines and Prickles Based on where they originate • Thorns – modified stems • Spines – modified leaves • Prickles – modified epidermal cells
Prickle Rose “thorns” are prickles “A rose between two prickles.”
Vascular Tissue Xylem: Water conducting – unidirectional (up) • Dead at maturity – pg 719 Phloem: Sugar conduction – bidirectional • Sieve Tube Members: alive and functional – lack many organelles • Companion Cells: connected to Sieve Tube Members by plasmodesmata – supports the STM with its organelle function

Ground Tissue • Occupies the space between the vascular tissue and the dermal tissue • Functions: • Storage – roots and stems • Support – stems • Photosynthesis – leaves and some stems
Types of Ground Tissue 1.Parenchyma: undifferentiated, thin cell walls (still flexible) – used for metabolism and photosynthesis Ex: Pallisade and Spongy Mesophyll of leaf Potato, Fruit pulp 2. Collenchyma: unevenly thickened cell walls – support young parts of plants – no lignin, but stronger than parenchyma Ex: “Strings” in celery 3. Sclerenchyma: highly thickened cell walls – lignified – support mature tissue – hard and dead Two types: Fibers and Sclerids Ex: Walnut Shell, Stone Cells in Pears

Plant Parts: Roots, Stems and Leaves Roots: Functions: - absorb water, nutrients and minerals - anchor plant in soil - store food and water - support the plant
(a) Prop roots (b) Storage roots (c) “Strangling” aerialroots (d) Buttress roots (e) Pneumatophores
Increasing Absorption • Root hairs – extensions of the epidermis • Branching roots – lateral roots • Mycorrhizae
Root Structure • Outside In • Epidermis (D) • Cortex (G) – storage and nutrient transfer • Endodermis (G) – separates ground and vascular tissue – important for water transfer • Pericycle (V) – forms the lateral roots • Stele (Xylem and Phloem) (V)

In the roots of typical gymnosperms and eudicots, as well as some monocots, the stele is a vascular cylinder consisting of a lobed core of xylem with phloem between the lobes. (b) Transverse section of a root with parenchyma in the center. The stele of many monocot roots is a vascular cylinder with a core of parenchyma surrounded by a ring of alternating xylem and phloem.

Stems Function: - support leaves and flowers - photosynthesis (non-woody plants – herbaceous) - storage: food (tubers – potato) and water (cactus)
Stem Structure • Nodes: points where leaves are/were attached • Internodes: area of growth between the nodes • Bud: Developing leaves • Terminal/Apical Bud: end of a branch • Lateral/Axillary Bud: lateral growth – between leaf petiole (“stem” of leaf) and main stem • Bud Scale Scars: Sites of old bud scales (protective layers around the buds) - # of bud scale scars indicates the age of the stem • Leaf Scars: Sites where leaves were attached to the stem • Lenticles: “bumps” of cork lined pores that allow for oxygen exchange in the stem
Terminal bud Bud scale Axillary buds Leaf scar This year’s growth (one year old) Node Stem Internode One-year-old side branch formed from axillary bud near shoot apex Leaf scar Last year’s growth (two years old) Scars left by terminal bud scales of previous winters Leaf scar Growth of two years ago (three years old)
