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 [...]

Meaning of Stomata: Stomata are very minute openings found in the epidermal layer of leaves, stem and other aerial parts of the plant. Each stoma remains surrounded by two kidney-shaped or bean-shaped cells called guard cells. Chloroplasts are always present in the guard cells. The inner wall [...]

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 [...]
