Herbaceous Dicot Stem: Parenchymatous Pith in Older Helianthus

cross section: Older stem: Helianthus common name: Sunflower magnification: 100x All vascular tissues in Helianthus are the product of primary growth. There are no signs of secondary growth (growth rings or lateral meristems) as might be seen in woody stems. The uniseriate and cutinized epidermis contains large multicellular trichomes and occasional stomata. The cortex consists of an outermost hypodermis of heavy walled collenchyma, a deeper layer of parenchyma and a deepest band of endodermis (starch sheath). Within the stele the vascular bundles are arranged in a ring and separated from each other by wide medullary rays of parenchyma cells. The collaterally arranged vascular bundles are almost entirely primary phloem and xylem. Each bundle consists of a large outer supportive cap of sclerenchyma fibers (phloem fiber cap), a deeper layer of primary phloem with well-defined sieve tubes and companion cells, and a deepest layer of primary xylem. In between the xylem and phloem, a narrow band of cambium may be seen. In some preparations, the highly lignified cells walls of xylem and mature sclerenchyma are stained red orange. These cells are dead at maturity and can also be distinguished by a heavy cell wall and absence of cytoplasm. The center of the stem is occupied by a pith of parenchyma cells that contain numerous starch storing amyloplasts. cross section: Older stem: Helianthus common name: Sunflower magnification: 100x All vascular tissues in Helianthus are the product of primary growth.

Angiosperm Morphology: Bulliform Cells in Zea Leaf

cross section:Zea leaf common name: corn magnification: 400x The iso-bilateral leaf of Zea is typical of most monocots. Both upper and lower epidermis are uniseriate and well cutinized. Within the upper, or adaxial, epidermis, large white bulliform cells shrink, allowing the leaf to roll during drought. Stomata are present on both surfaces with guard cells perched above small round substomatal chambers. As with most monocots the mesophyll is unspecialized, being composed of compactly arranged somewhat round chlorenchyma cells. Numerous small and occasionally large vascular bundles are arranged in parallel series along the length of the leaf. The vascular bundles are collateral and closed with xylem of vessels and tracheids towards the adaxial surface and phloem of sieve tubes and companion cells towards the abaxial surface. Cambium is not present. Within each bundle a xylem of two oval metaxylem and a single large protoxylem cavity can be seen. Each vascular bundle is wraped by a bundle sheath of thin walled parenchyma cells. Larger bundles are supported towards both surfaces by masses of sclerenchyma that interrupt the mesophyll to form a patchy hypodermis. cross section:Zea leaf common name: corn magnification: 400x The iso-bilateral leaf of Zea is typical of most monocots.

Angiosperm Leaf: Stomatal Pits in Nymphaea

cross section: Nymphea leaf common name: Waterlily magnification: 400x Both the upper (adaxial) and lower (abaxial) epidermis are uniseriate and contain chloroplasts. The air exposed adaxial epidermis is well cutinized and contain numerous stomata that open into large substomatal air chambers. The submerged abaxial epidermis has a very thin cuticle and lacks stomata. Dark staining slime glands are present on the abaxial surface. Deep to the upper epidermis are several layers of tightly packed palisade mesophyll, the chief photosynthetic tissue of the leaf. Most of the leaf interior is occupied by a deeper zone of spongy mesophyll with large air spaces. Large red staining branched astroscleroids are abundant throughout the mesophyll. cross section: Nymphea leaf common name: Waterlily magnification: 400x Both the upper (adaxial) and lower (abaxial) epidermis are uniseriate and contain chloroplasts.
