What part of the plant would show the following?
(a) Radial vascular bundle
(b) Polyarch xylem
(c) Well developed pith
(a) Radial Vascular Bundle The xylem and phloem are present on the separate radii of the root. This arrangement of vascular bundle is known as radial vascular bundle.
(b) Polyarch Xylem When many strands of xylem are present, it is referred to as polyarch condition-a characteristic feature of monocot root.
(c) Well Developed Pith Dicot stem and monocot roots have well developed pith formed of parenchymatous cell with intercellular spaces..
Bulliform cells are bubble shaped cells present in grasses. Loss of turgor pressure in these cells causes leaf to curl during water stress, thus reduce transpiration.
Phellogen is a meristematic tissue, while phelloderm is a permanent tissue. Phellogen (cork cambium) develops from the cortical cells, sometimes from pericycle cells. These cells actively divide and forms phellem on outerside and phelloderm (cortex cells)innerside on so phelloderm takes its origin from phellogen.
