Question | Answer |
---|---|
2 regions of a plant | Root and shoot |

5 parts of a stem | Node, internode, axillary/lateral bud, terminal bud |
Node | Where leaf attaches |
Internode | Stem between nodes |
Axillary/lateral bud | Meristem at tips of branches |

What plants have intercalary meristems? | Grasses |
Intercalary meristems | Occur away from apex and become active if apical meristem is removed |
What are the two lateral meristems that produce secondary growth? | Vascular cambium and cork cambium |
Cyto-Histological Concept | How gymnosperms grow |

Who came up with Cyto-Histological Concept? | Majumdar 1942 |
Who came up with Tunica-Corpus Concept? | Schmidt 1924 |
What is the tunica? | Outermost layer of cells on apical meristem |

How many tunica layers do most angiosperms have? | 3; L1, L2, L3 |
What is the corpus? | Spherical body of cells beneath tunica |
What does the corpus do? | Divide periclinally and anticlinally to add bulk to developing stem |
What are the 2 zones of the corpus? | Peripheral/marginal zone and central mother cell zone |
Peripheral/marginal zone | Outer layer of corpus with lots of cell divisions |
Central mother cell zone | Bulk of corpus with few cell divisions |
Peripheral meristem | From L1, L2, L3 of tunica and peripheral zone of corpus |
Pith or rib meristem | Areas just beneath the central mother cell zone; develops from peripheral zone |
What does peripheral meristem produce? | Epidermis, ground tissue, leaves, axillary buds |
Which vascular tissue starts developing first? | Xylem |
What direction does xylem develop? | From inside towards outside (enarch) |
What direction does phloem develop? | From outside towards inside (exarch) |
Protoxylem | First xylem to develop, matures while stem is still elongating, often destroyed after metaxylem matures |
Metaxylem | Mature xylem with larger cell diameter |
Protophloem | First phloem to develop, first to mature look like elongated parenchyma cells without nuclei |
Metaphloem | Mature phloem |
Wall thickenings in protoxylem | Annular and helical |
Wall thickenings in metaxylem | Scalariform and pitted |
Pattern of xylem development | Annular then helical then scalariform then pitted |
Procambium | Parenchyma cells that give rise to primary xylem and phloem |
Vascular cambium | Responsible for secondary growth, produces secondary xylem and phloem |
What plants have continuous vascular bundles | Magnoliids and primitive eudicots |
Interfascicular region | Parenchyma cells of vascular cambium between vascular bundles |
Vascular cambium | Single layer of parenchyma cells between xylem and phloem |
Cortex | Area outside of ring of vascular bundles |
Pith (eudicots) | Area inside of ring of vascular bundles |
Cortex (monocots) | Area surrounding vascular bundles |
What is the cortex made of? | Parenchyma and collenchyma |
What is pith made of (eudicots)? | Parenchyma cells |
What do ducts or canals contain? | Slimy carbohydrates called mucilage |
Intrafascicular region | Vascular cambium within vascular bundles |
Pith ray | Smaller in tightly packed xylem, gets broader in the looser phloem |
2 types of separated vascular bundles | Open and closed |
Open vascular bundles | In plants with secondary growth, have ring of vascular cambium |
What does intrafascicular vascular cambium produce? | Vascular tissue |
What does interfascicular vascular cambium produce? | Ground tissue |
Closed vascular bundles | No vascular cambium, in plants with no secondary growth, vascular bundles surrounded by sheath |
Vascular bundle sheath | Made of sclerenchyma cells |
3 types of vascular tissue organization | Continuous, separated ring, scattered |
What plants have scattered vascular bundles? | Monocots and some tropical eudicots |
Characteristics of scattered vascular bundles | Vascular bundles closed, no secondary growth, no pith, all ground tissue is cortex |
Leaf trace | Where vascular tissue extends to leaf |
Branch trace | Where vascular tissue extends to branch |
Leaf gap | Break in vascular tissue above leaf trace |
Branch gap | Break in vascular tissue above branch trace |
Sympodium | Stem bundle and associated leaf or branch trace |
What is secondary growth? | Roots and stems increase in diameter in regions no longer elongating |
Which plants have secondary growth? | All gymnosperms, all Magnoliids, some eudicots |
What are plants with secondary growth classified as? | Perennials, and some annuals that evolved from larger ancestors |
What happens to primary tissues when secondary growth occurs? | Destroyed and replaced by new tissues, mostly secondary xylem |
What does vascular cambium produce? | Secondary xylem, secondary phloem, vascular rays |
What does cork cambium produce? | Periderm (replaces ruptured epidermis) |
Periclinal | Parallel to surface |
Anticlinal | Perpendicular to surface |
2 types of vascular cambium initials | Fusiform and ray |
Fusiform initials | Vertically elongated, give rise to vascular tissue |
Ray initials | Horizontally elongated, give rise to vascular rays |
Vascular rays | Made of parenchyma, in secondary xylem and phloem |
Vascular ray functions | Lateral transport, storage |
Symplastically | Crosses cell membrane and goes through protoplast; uses energy |
Apoplastically | Moves between cells and along cell walls |
What do vascular rays transport symplastically? | Sucrose |
What do vascular rays transport apoplastically? | Water |
What do vascular rays store? | Starch and lipids |
3 classifications of vascular rays | Uniseriate, biseriate, multiseriate |
Uniseriate | 1 cell layer wide |
Biseriate | 2 cell layers wide |

What is wood? | Secondary xylem |
Transverse | Cross section |
Radial | Longitudinal section through center |
