The following points highlight the three main types of tissue system in plants. The types are: 1. Epidermal Tissue System 2. Ground Tissue System 3. Vascular Tissue System. Type # 1. Epidermal Tissue System: This tissue system forms the outermost covering of plant body. It is derived from protoderm. It consists of epidermis and epidermal appendages. Epidermis is made of [...]
The following points highlight the four tissues of monocot stem of plants. The tissues are: 1. Epidermis 2. Hypodermis 3. Ground Tissue 4. Vascular Strand. Monocot Stem: Tissue # 1. Epidermis: It is the outermost layer of the stem which is made up of compactly arranged transparent, elongated and rectangular—barrel-shaped living parenchyma cells. The outer walls of epidermal cells possess [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics and types of Meristem Tissue of Plants. Characteristics of Meristem Tissue: (i) Ability to grow and divide, (ii) Small immaÂture cells, (iii) Isodiametric, rounded, oval or polygonal, (iv) Absence of intercellular spaces. (v) Walls are thin, elastic and made of cellulose, (vi) Nucleus conspicuous, (vii) Cytoplasm dense, (viii) Vacuoles absent or [...]
