In this article we will discuss about the boulos and beakbane’s technique with experiment. Boulos and Beakbane (1971) suggested a highly useful method of separating leaf epidermis from the mesophyll tissue. In routine type of epidermal studies, especially for investigating the details of the stomata and epidermal cells, this method is very effective in the laboratory. In this method pieces [...]

These are the elongations or the extensions of epidermai cells. 2. They are found singly or in groups. 3. Trichomes may be unicellular or multicellular. Morphologically, root hairs [...]
The below mentioned article provides an overview on the external morphology of higher plants with diagram. A critical study of the external morphology or the external forms of higher plants is necessary primarily in order to be able to describe the plants accurately and to enable one to distinguish between similar-looking plants. This is a point essential in the study [...]
