  • Seed Germination of the Corpse Giant Flower Amorphophallus Titanum
    Latifah and Purwantoro - Seed Germination of The Corpse Giant Flower Amorphophallus titanum SEED GERMINATION OF THE CORPSE GIANT FLOWER Amorphophallus titanum (Becc.) Becc. Ex Arcang: THE INFLUENCE OF TESTA [Perkecambahan Biji Bunga Bangkai Raksasa Amorphophallus titanum (Becc.) Becc. ex Arcang: Pengaruh Testa] Dian Latifah and RS Purwantoro 1Center for Plant Conservation-Bogor Botanic Garden, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Jl. Ir. H. Juanda no.13, Bogor, Indonesia 16122 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Amorphophallus titanum is famous as the gigantic inflorescense and economically prospective due to its 20% glucomannan contents. Various cultivation techniques including germination have been conducted due to the delay in the seed germination of Amorphophallus titanum. Previous studies revealed that A. titanum seeds has not produced faster and better germination rate. Therefore this research was aimed to test the following hypotheses: (1) Fruit pericarp and the pericarp inhibited the germination, (2) testa/seed coat inhibited germination, (3) GA3hormone promoted the germination rate. The germination pattern was also monitored. The experiments consisted of: Experiment 1: sowing the fruit with the seeds inside and Experiment 2 with two treatments: testa peeling and GA3 hormone treatments. The results of Experiment 1 showed that the fruit pericarp and the pericarp inhibited the germination for 124 days. Experiment 2 resulted in: (1) the delay of the germination for 7-35 days caused by the testa/seed coat, (2) GA3 hormone promoted the germination rate 2.19 coefficient of germination rate; and higher GA3 (1000 ppm) may enhance the seedling growth (reached the highest 23.6 ± 1.3).We also recorded developmental stages from the seed germination, first-leaf emergence and tuber development in series of photographs overtime during the experimental period.

The rhytidome consists of 3–5 sequential periderms alternating with secondary phloem. The phellem is composed of 2–5 layers of cells with thin suberised walls and narrow (1–3 seriate) tangential band of lignified thick-walled cells. The phelloderm is thin (2–3 seriate). Secondary phloem is formed by a few tangential bands of fibres alternating with bands of sieve elements and axial parenchyma. Formation of conspicuous sclereids and the dilatation growth (proliferation and enlargement of parenchyma cells) affect the bark structure. Fused phloem rays give rise to broad rays. Crystals and druses were mostly seen in dilated axial parenchyma cells. Bark thickness, sieve tube element length, and secondary phloem fibre wall thickness decreased with tree height. The sieve tube width did not follow any regular trend. In general, the fibre length had a small increase toward breast height, followed by a decrease towards the top.

  • Differentiation of Epidermis with Reference to Stomata
    Unit : 3 Differentiation of Epidermis with Reference to Stomata LESSON STRUCTURE 3.0 Objective 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Epidermis : Basic concept, its function, origin and structure 3.3 Stomatal distribution, development and classification. 3.4 Questions for Exercise 3.5 Suggested Readings 3.0 OBJECTIVE The epidermis, being superficial or outermost layer of cells, covers the entire plant body. It includes structures like stomata and trichomes. Distribution of stomata in epidermis depends on Ontogeny, number of subsidiary cells, separation of guard cells and different taxonomic ranks (classes, families and species). 3.1 INTRODUCTION The internal organs of plants are covered by a well developed tissue system, the epidermal or integumentary system. The epidermis modifies itself to cope up with natural surroundings, since, it is in direct contact with the environment. It protects the inner tissues from any adverse natural calamities like high temperature, desiccation, mechanical injury, excessive illumination, external infection etc. In some plants epidermis may persist throughout the life, while in others it is replaced by periderm. Although the epiderm usually arises from the outer most tunica layer, which thus coincides with Hanstein’s dermatogen, the underlying tissues may have their origin in the tunica or the corpus or both, depending on plant species and the number of tunica layers, explained by Schmidt (1924). ( 38 ) Differentiation of Epidermis with Reference to Stomata 3.2 EPIDERMIS Basic Concept The term epidermis designates the outer most layer of cells on the primary plant body. The word is derived from two Greek words ‘epi’ means upon and ‘derma’ means skin. Through the history of development of plant morphology the concept of the epidermis has undergone changes, and there is still no complete uniformity in the application of the term.

Wheeler Associate F'rofessor Department of Wood and Paper Science, North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-8005 and Robert C. Kellison Professor, Department of Forestry and Director, Hardwood Research Cooperative School of Forest Resoumes Raleigh, NC 27695-8002 (Received May 1985) ABSTRACT Selectedanatomical characteristicsand specificgravity ofydlow-poplar wood formed after wounding and adjacent to the wound were compared to similar characteristics of yellow-poplar wood formed before and after wounding and away from the wound. The wood formed immediately after wounding was similar anatomically to the bamer zones described for other species. Vessel volume, vessel diameter, percentage of vessel multiples, and vessel elcment length were significantly lower in wound- associated wood, while ray volume, ray density, and specific gravity were significantly greater. Such changes in the vessel system would result in a decrease in conductivity in the wounded area, while the increase in parenchyma would increase the potential for manufacture of fungitoxic compounds. With increasing radial distance from the wound area, the anatomical features of the wound-associated wood -~radualh . a~~roached .. those of normal wood, although. by. four years after wounding, the wood still had not returned to normal. The specific gravity stayed significantly greater. Keywords: Liriodendron lulipirpra L., yellow-poplar, barrier zones, wood anatomy, wounding, dis- coloration and decay.

Mechanical stress in the inner bark of 15 tropical tree species and the relationship with anatomical structure1 Romain Lehnebach, Léopold Doumerc, Bruno Clair, and Tancrède Alméras Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the inner bark is implicated in the postural control of inclined tree stems through the interaction between wood radial growth and tangential expansion of a trellis fiber network in bark. Assessing the taxonomic extent of this mechanism requires a screening of the diversity in bark anatomy and mechanical stress. The mechanical state of bark was measured in 15 tropical tree species from various botanical families on vertical mature trees, and related to the anatomical structure of the bark.

The shoot system is composed of the stem and its lateral appendages: leaves, buds, and flowers. Leaves are arranged in different patterns (phyllotaxis): alternate, opposite, whorled, and spiral. 2. Stems provide support to the leaves, buds, and flowers. They conduct water and nutrients and produce new cells in meristems (shoot apical meristem, primary and secondary meristems). 3. Dicot stems and monocot stems are usually different. Dicot stems tend to have vascular bundles distributed in a ring, whereas in monocot stems they tend to be scattered. 4. Stems are composed of the following: epidermis, cortex and pith, xylem and phloem, and periderm. 5. Secondary xylem is formed by the division of cells in the vascular cambium and is called wood. The bark is composed of all of the tissues outside the vascular cambium, including the periderm (formed from cork cambium) and the secondary phloem.
