  10. Definition of Leaf Leaf is the flattened outgrowth of Stem or a branch that develops at node & has a bud in it’s axil. These are the dissimilar organs & are meant primarily for Photosynthesis, Respiration & Transpiration. www.assignmentpoint.com

  11. Parts of the Leaf 1. Leaf Base2. Petiole3. Lamina more www.assignmentpoint.com

  12. Leaf Base The part of leaf attached to the stem or branch is called- Leaf base. It protects a Bud in it’s axil. www.assignmentpoint.com

  13. Petiole The part of leaf that connects the lamina with stem, is called leaf petiole. Some time a leaf may not have a petiole, such leaves are called – Sessile otherwise the leaf is called Petiolate. www.assignmentpoint.com

  14. Lamina It is the flat, expended & broad part of leaf with framework of veins & veinlets. The lamina is the most important part of the leaf as it is the seat of food manufacturing in plant. www.assignmentpoint.com

  15. Phyllotaxy It is the mode of arrangement / distribution of leaves on stem or it’s branch. Phyllotxy ensures that leaves may receive maximum sunlight for photosynthesis. www.assignmentpoint.com

  16. Alternate Phyllotaxy In such case only one leaf is attached at each node. The leaves are so arranged that a line drawn on the stem through the leaf bases will take a spiral course. Ex. Hibiscus, Brassica etc. www.assignmentpoint.com

  17. Opposite Phyllotaxy In such case two leaves are present at each node, standing opposite to each other. It is of two subtypes - Opposite decussate Opposite superposed www.assignmentpoint.com

  18. Opposite Decussate Here pairs of leaves at each successive node are placed at right angle to each other. Eg. Ocimum, Calotropis etc. www.assignmentpoint.com

  19. Oposite Superposed Here pairs of leaves at each successive node are placed over each other in same plane. Eg.Eugenia,Quisqualis etc. www.assignmentpoint.com

  20. Whorled Phyllotaxy In this type more than two leaves are present at each node, forming a whorl. Ex. Oleander, Alstonia etc. http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/science/biological_sciences/lab10/biolab10_4.html#Structure www.assignmentpoint.com
