ANATOMY OF FLOWERING PLANTS: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PLANT BODY(CHAPTER FOURTEEN) Flashcards
The embryo consists of an upper_____ and lower______ primordia.
- apical shoot
- apical root
The ______ root and shoot develop into the miniature root and shoot systems..
Primordial
What is the tunica-corpus theory?
the three mature plant tissue systems-epidermis, cortex and the stele or vascular regions are derived from two major lines of meristematic activities.
The tunica layer develops into the_____ . The corpus develops to form the ______
by continuous growth, division and differentiation upwards and sideways.
- epidermal layer
- cortex and stele
What are the mature plant tissue systems?
epidermis, cortex and the stele or vascular regions
Buds are said to be exogenous because?
They have superficial source
The proto-phloem and -xylem in the bundles give rise to ______.
The procambial cells are differentiated into the ______ and itself being thinned down to a strip of ____ in between the two.
- the meta-phloem and -xylem
- phloem and xylem elements
- cambium cells
In the monocotyledonous stem there are
numerous vascular bundles with no arrangement, lack cambium and are sheathed by sclerenchyma cells.
At the early stage, cambium are called _____. since they are of the vascular bundle, and they become actively meristematic and lodge in between the phloem and xylem and are then referred to as the ______.
- fascicular cambium
- interfascicular cambium
A ring of the _____ form round and becomes the cambium ring
- interfascicular cambial cells
Function of the fusiform initial cells?
give rise to elongated cells of the secondary xylem parenchyma as well as the phloem sieve tubes, companion cells, fibres and phloem parenchyma.
Function of the ray initial cells ?
produce the secondary medullary rays that cut across the xylem and phloem sieve tubes, companion cells, fibres and phloem parenchyma.
Between the Xylem and the phloem which of them increases more
Xylem
What is annual or growth ring.
The growing season ring or early wood and the drier season ring or late wood lie together as a concentric ring called
What’s the heartwood?
The part of the xylem that becomes darker in colour When the central xylem becomes non-functional due to clogging with oils and gums and death of the parenchyma cells.
The heartwood is lined by the?
outer lighter, sap-conducting-wood called sapwood.
The heartwood only provides _____ while the sapwood _______
- mechanical support
- conducts water and dissolved salts.
What is the epidermis of dicot stem?
This is the outermost layer of cells consisting of thickened, cutinized epidermal cells.
What is the Cortex of dicot stem?
These are series of layers of cells below the epidermis delimited to the inside by the endodermis.
What is the endodermis of the dicot stem?
The innermost cortical cells which possess starch grains known as the starch sheath.
What is the Pericycle of the dicot stem?
This is the layer between the endodermis and the vascular bundle.
They consists of parenchyma and sclerenchyma cells.
What is a hardbast?
These are sclerenchyma cells that are associated with the phloem or bast
What is the vascular bundle of the dicot stem?
several groups of cells beneath the pericyle which comprises the phloem, cambium and xylem.
What is a phloem ?
This is the first layer of the bundle which consists of the sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma. Below the phloem lies the cambium.
______ vessels are differentiated into the bigger ones and constitute the net-like or reticulate and ones with small pits.
- metaxylem vessels
________ vessels are the smaller ones, that are annular, spiral and scarlariform in the way their walls are thickened.
the protoxylem.
What are wood vessel?
These are some characteristically large cells in the xylem, arranged in a radial row
