Dicots: Parts in 4’s or 5’s Monocot: Parts in 3’s Monocot vs. dicot flowers: left is spiderwort, a monocot; right is phlox. a dicot.

Tissue Plan Diagram: Dicotyledon Stem A tissue plan diagram is simply a map of where the different types of tissue can be found. You don’t need to Draw each cell!

Storage/support tissue • Parenchyma (figure 25.5 page 442) • Thin walled • Stores food and water • In leaves, parenchyma contain the chloroplasts • Potato is mostly parenchyma Why thin walled and large spaces?
B. Collenchyma • Thicker cell walls • Primarily provide support • The stuff in celery that gets stuck in your teeth.
C. Sclerenchyma • Very thick walls • Only for support • Surrounds the veins of leaves, stems and roots
Relationship between distribution of tissues in a leaf & functions • Functions & Tissues: • Absorption of light: • Gas exchange: • Support: • Water conservation: • Transport of water & photosynthesis products • Xylem: • Phloem: • Both are in the spongy mesophyll Parenchyma cells in Mesophyll Stomata in the epidermis Collenchyma Cells in upper epidermis Stomata & guard cells conducts water & dissolved minerals • Transports sugars (products of photosyn.)
Functions of Roots, Stems, & Leaves • Basic function of roots: • Support & water update • Basic function of stems • Support & transport • Basic function leaves: • Gas exchange & photosynthesis
Interesting plant adaptations of roots, stems, & leaves • Can you name some?
Interesting plant adaptations of roots, stems, & leaves • Bulbs – collections of thick leaf bases (vertical underground shoots) that store food. Storage leaves Stem
Interesting plant adaptations of roots, stems, & leaves • Stem Tubers – enlarged ends of rhizomes or stolons specialized for storing food. Tubers
Interesting plant adaptations of roots, stems, & leaves • Storage Roots – food & water storage site. Storage Roots
Interesting plant adaptations of roots, stems, & leaves • Tendrils – modified leaves or stems that provide support. Tendrils
Growth Tissues • Plants only grow at the meristems. • Apical meristems – growth in length of roots & shoots • Where are they located? • What are they? • Located in tips of roots & shoots • Extra cells that enable growth in length (primary growth)

Growth Tissues • Lateral meristems - Growth in thickness (secondary growth) by vascular & cork cambium • Cylinders of dividing cells extending along the length of roots and stems. • Vascular cambium - adds layers of secondary xylem (wood) & secondary phloem. These are the tree rings we see in cut longs. • Cork cambium – replaces epidermis with thicker tougher periderm. We call this bark.

Tropisms & Control of Plant Growth • Plant responses to directional external stimuli. • Plant responses can be either positive (toward stimuli) or negative (away from stimuli). • Phototropism is an example of positive stimuli – the plant will grow toward the light.
Tropisms lengthening cells. • Auxins promote growth by? • Auxins are produced in the coleoptile, a protective sheath around the emerging root or shoot. • Normally auxin is evenly distributed around the shoot causing vertical growth. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most common, naturally-occurring, plant hormone of the auxin class.
Tropisms • If photoreceptors in the coleoptile detect a light stimulus from one direction, auxin is moved to the opposite direction of the growing shoot. • Uneven distribution of auxin caused increased bending toward the light.
