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. -

Knockdown of Rice Microrna166 Confers Drought Resistance by Causing Leaf Rolling and Altering Stem Xylem Development1
Knockdown of Rice MicroRNA166 Confers Drought Resistance by Causing Leaf Rolling and Altering Stem Xylem Development1 Jinshan Zhang,a,b,c Hui Zhang,a,b Ashish Kumar Srivastava,a,b,2 Yujie Pan,a,b,c Jinjuan Bai,a,b Jingjing Fang,a,b Huazhong Shi,d and Jian-Kang Zhua,b,e,3 aShanghai Center for Plant Stress Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201602, People’s Republic of China bCenter of Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201602, People’s Republic of China cUniversity of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 201602, People’s Republic of China dDepartment of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409 eDepartment of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 ORCID IDs: 0000-0001-7360-6837 (J.Z.); 0000-0003-3817-9774 (H.S.); 0000-0001-5134-731X (J.-K.Z.). 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. -

Forestal San Pedro Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Project Forestal San Pedro
Project Forestal San Pedro Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Project Forestal San Pedro Executive Summary The company Forestal San Pedro was created in 2020 and aims to manage 8,000 ha of forest plantations and timber industrial development within the framework of the San Pedro Forest Project (FSP). The project will cover plantations in the department of San Pedro, west of the department of Canindeyú, south of the department of Concepción and north of Caaguazú. The company is in the process of acquiring 6,270 ha of eucalyptus plantations, which were planted between 2014 and 2020, currently located within the departments of San Pedro and Canindeyú. This area consists of stands of pure and silvopastoral plantations. It is foreseen to establish another 1,730 ha to reach the target. The Forest Management Units (FMUs) to be acquired for the FSP Project in Paraguay are timber plantations that have and will continue to have social and environmental management systems based on environmental, social and governance policies that are aligned with all the principles and criteria of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and the Environmental and Social Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation. Being certified by the FSC demonstrates that forest plantations meet the highest social and environmental standards on the market (FSC 2020). The operations of the FSP Project will be carried out by UNIQUE Wood Paraguay SA, a company founded in 2001 that is part of the UNIQUE Group, and whose objective is the valorization of the forest resource through the development and implementation of profitable models of forest production, which generate positive social and environmental impacts (UNIQUE Wood 2018). -

The role of various meristems has also been discussed in regard to growth of root and shoot in plants. In this unit you will be studying about epidermis which forms the outermost layer of the primary plant body. It is derived from the protoderm layer in plants. Epidermis forms the interface between the plant and its environment, hence acts as the first line of defense in plants. As you know that defense mechanism is very important part of plant, animal kingdom wholly or partially depended on plant kingdom and fixed to the ground as they have to manoeuvre when attacked. For this reason plants have been provided with special organs to protect themselves from such attacks. In the present unit we will describes the structure of epidermis, various cells present in the layer along with their role in plant protection. 145 Block 2 Secondary Growth and Adaptive Features ObObjectivesjectivesObjectives After studying this unit you would be able to : demonstrate the structure and explain the function of epidermis; recognize various specialised cells present in the epidermis; illustrate the structure and distinguish the function of cuticle; and know the importance of trichomes in plants.
