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.

  • Tissues and Other Levels of Organization MODULE - 1 Diversity and Evolution of Life
    Tissues and Other Levels of Organization MODULE - 1 Diversity and Evolution of Life 5 Notes TISSUES AND OTHER LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION You have just learnt that cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of organisms and that bodies of organisms are made up of cells of various shapes and sizes. Groups of similar cells aggregate to collectively perform a particular function. Such groups of cells are termed “tissues”. This lesson deals with the various kinds of tissues of plants and animals. OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to : z define tissues; z classify plant tissues; z name the various kinds of plant tissues; z enunciate the tunica corpus theory and histogen theory; z classify animal tissues; z describe the structure and function of various kinds of epithelial tissues; z describe the structure and function of various kinds of connective tissues; z describe the structure and function of muscular tissue; z describe the structure and function of nervous tissue. 5.1 WHAT IS A TISSUE Organs such as stem, and roots in plants, and stomach, heart and lungs in animals are made up of different kinds of tissues. A tissue is a group of cells with a common origin, structure and function. Their common origin means they are derived from the same layer (details in lesson No. 20) of cells in the embryo. Being of a common origin, there are similar in structure and hence perform the same function. Several types of tissues organise to form an organ. Example : Blood, bone, and cartilage are some examples of animal tissues whereas parenchyma, collenchyma, xylem and phloem are different tissues present in the plants.

  • Intra-Organismal Variation in the Structure of Plant Vascular Transport Tissues in Poplar Trees
    Trees (2018) 32:1335–1346 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00468-018-1714-z ORIGINAL ARTICLE Intra-organismal variation in the structure of plant vascular transport tissues in poplar trees Anna L. Jacobsen1 · Jessica Valdovinos‑Ayala1 · F. Daniela Rodriguez‑Zaccaro1 · M. Angela Hill‑Crim1 · Marta I. Percolla1 · Martin D. Venturas2 Received: 8 December 2017 / Accepted: 17 May 2018 / Published online: 24 May 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Key message Phloem and xylem conduit structure vary greatly throughout the body of Populus trichocarpa trees, par- ticularly between roots and shoots. This has implications for understanding organ and whole plant vascular function. Abstract Woody plant vascular transport occurs predominantly within secondary xylem and phloem, which are both produced by the vascular cambium during secondary growth. We examined how vessel and sieve tube structure varied throughout the plant body of P. trichocarpa trees and whether xylem and phloem conduit structure was correlated across different positions within the plant. We excavated entire juvenile P. trichocarpa trees and measured vessel and sieve tube structural traits of current-year growth in 1 m increments along the main root:shoot axis. Trees were > 4 m tall and had roots that extended 4–5 m at their longest length. We found that both sieve tube and vessel diameters greatly varied throughout the plant body and with organ diameter. Roots had wider diameter conduits than shoots. Sieve tube diameter was strongly correlated with vessel diameter, which may be related to their common developmental origin. Other structural traits, such as pit membrane area and pit density for xylem, and sieve plate area and number of sieve areas per plate for phloem, also varied and were correlated with changes in conduit diameter.

MicroRNAs are 19- to 22-nucleotide small noncoding RNAs that have been implicated in abiotic stress responses. In this study, we found that knockdown of microRNA166, using the Short Tandem Target Mimic (STTM) system, resulted in morphological changes that confer drought resistance in rice (Oryza sativa). From a large-scale screen for miRNA knockdown lines in rice, we identified miR166 knockdown lines (STTM166); these plants exhibit a rolled-leaf phenotype, which is normally displayed by rice plants under drought stress. The leaves of STTM166 rice plants had smaller bulliform cells and abnormal sclerenchymatous cells, likely causing the rolled-leaf phenotype. The STTM166 plants had reduced stomatal conductance and showed decreased transpiration rates. The STTM166 lines also exhibited altered stem xylem and decreased hydraulic conductivity, likely due to the reduced diameter of the xylem vessels.
