Module 9 - Stem Flashcards
Axial Organ of the Shoot:
Radial structure and exhibits indeterminate growth.
Has nodes, long or short internodes.
Short internodes appear to be “stemless” or rosette-like.
Functions for support, conduction, photosynthesis, reproduction, and storage.
Stem
Most mature or oldest phytomere is the one
________ ____ the apex
Farthest from
T/F SAM is formed during embryogenesis but it only becomes active after germination
True
The basal part of the ovule in plants, where the nucellus and integuments join. Nutrients from plants are transported to nucellus through this.
Chalaza
small opening in the integuments of a plant ovule through which the male gametes pass
Micropyle
Monocot Embryogenesis Stages
- Proembryo
- Globular
- Scutellar
- Coleoptilar
Dicot Embryogenesis Stages
- Proembryo
- Globular
- Cotyledon
a. Heart-shaped
b. Torpedo - Mature
Stage in MONOCOT Embryogenesis
Following fertilization, the first cell division is asymmetrical and leads to an apical and basal cell
The apical cell divides more rapidly than the basal cell and will eventually be the embryo.
Proembryo stage
Stage in MONOCOT Embryogenesis that gives rise to embryonic axis
Globular stage
Stage in MONOCOT Embryogenesis where remnant of the cotyledon can be seen
Scutellar stage
Stage in MONOCOT Embryogenesis where the embryo axis differentiates into the plumule (shoot) and radicle
Coleoptilar stage
Basic STELE Types and description
- Protostele - Solid xylem center surrounded by phloem in psilotum, lycopodium, and most primitive ferns
- Siphonostele - Center is pith surrounded by xylem and phloem in more advanced ferns, angiosperms, and gymnosperms
Variations/Types of Protostele
- Haplostele - the xylem core is a solid cylinder surrounded by phloem
- Actinostele - the xylem has radiating arms or
protuberances - Plectostele - the xylem core is cylindrical but has masses of phloem (mukhang harbor cove logo)
__________ forms from faster enlargement of cells of the inner cortex than those of adjoining vascular tissue.
Lacuna
Endodermal cells elongate to form _______ connecting the vascular bundle to the cortex
Trabeculae
