The following points highlight the thirty-six major cell types found in plant tissues. The cell types are: 1. Antipodal Cells 2. Bulliform Cell 3. Cambium (Vascular) 4. Collenchyma 5.

In this article we will discuss about the classification of plant tissues based on types of cell. There are two types of tissue — simple and complex. Simple tissues are homogeneous, i.e., they are composed of one type of cells only, which have similar morphological structure, perform same function and originate from the same mother cell. Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of plant tissues based on development. Tissues are generally classified on the basis of development and the types of constituent cell — a brief account of which is as follows. Classification of tissues based on development: (a) Meristematic Tissue: Meristematic tissues can be defined as a group of cells which have [...]
