3. Contents:
1. Role of Pharmacognosy in Ayurveda
2. Basic Pharmacognosy
Tissues of plants
Monocot –dicot plants
Practical training drugs
6. Tissues
A group of closely associated cells that perform
related functions and are similar in structure.
7. Plant Tissues
Tissues in plants that divide throughout their life.
Plant tissues can be classified as:
Growing or Meristematic tissue
Permanent tissue
Meristematic tissue
Permanent tissue
8. Meristematic tissues
The growth of plants occurs in certain specific regions.
This is because the dividing tissue,
Known as meristematic tissue
Composed of actively dividing ceIIs, responsible for
the production of ceIIs.
Capacity for division is restricted to certain parts of
the plant body called meristems
Which are active throughout the life of the plant
body.
9.
10. Kinds of meristems:
• Apical meristems – found at the tip of stems & roots
• Lateral meristems – a.k.a. cambia
- found along the sides of roots & stems
- increase width or diameter of stems & roots
- types: 1. vascular cambium 2. cork cambium
• Intercallary meristems – found at the bases of young
leaves & internodes
- responsible for further lengthening of
stems & leaves
Meristematic tissues
11. Permanent tissues
Tissues that attained their mature form and
perform pacific functions.
They stop dividing
Types:
• Simple permanent tissues
• Complex permanent tissues
12. Simple permanent tissues
- consist only of one kind of cells
A. Dermal / surface tissue
- external tissues
- forms protective covering of the plant body
a. Epidermis
b. Periderm
13. • Epidermis
- the outermost layer of the primary plant body
- covers the leaves, floral parts, fruits, seeds,
tems and roots
- generally only one layer thick with cuticle
- composed mostly of unspecialized cells, either
parenchyma and/or sclerenchyma
- contains trichomes, stomata, buIIiform ceIIs
(in grasses)
Permanent tissues
20. Cuticle – Lines the outer waII of the epidermal ceIIs
- made up of waxy material that protects
plants from desiccation

Layer of
the leaf
22. • Periderm (Bark) is the outermost layer of stems and
roots of woody plants such as trees.
Periderm (Bark)
23. Parenchyma
- are the general purpose ceIIs of plants
- cells are rounded in shape & have uniformly thin
walls found in all parts of the plants.
- living at maturity, have large vacuoles
- location Ieaf, stem (pith), roots, fruits
Functions:
*basic metabolic function (respiration, photosynthesis
(chIorenchyma in Leaf) & protein synthesis)
*storage (potatoes, fruits, & seeds)
*wound healing and regeneration
Ground tissues
25. A specialized parenchyma tissue found in the green parts of
the shoot and performs photosynthesis.
ChIorenchyma
- differentiate from parenchyma
cells & are alive at maturity
Functions:
Support & elasticity (stem surfaces & along leaf veins)
26. sclerenchyma cells which are non-living and lack
protoplasts at maturity
Have thick, lignified secondary walls
Provide strength and support in parts that have
ceased elongating or mature
Types:
1. ScIereids or stone cells
2. Fibers
ScIerenchyma
30. Vascular Tissues
Specialized for long-distance transport of water
and dissolved substances.
Contain transfer ceIIs, fibers in addition to
parenchyma and conducting ceIIs.
Location, the veins in Ieaves
Types:
1. Xylem
2. phloem
Complex Permanent Tissues
31. xyIos means “wood” transports water and
dissolved nutrients from the roots to aII parts of a
plant.
Direction of transport is upward.
There ate two types
• Primary xylem – differentiates from procambium in the
apical meristem & occurs throughout the primary plant
body.
• Secondary xylem – differentiates from vascular
cambium & is commonly called wood.
Xylem
33. • Xylary elements – the conducting cells in xylem
- 2 kinds of xylary elements:
– tracheids – the only water conducting cells
in most woody, non flowering plants.
– vessel elements – occur in several groups of
plants, including angiosperm.
- both are elongated, dead at maturity, lignified
secondary cell walls.
Xylem
Tracheids Vessel elements
37. PhIoem
- Greek word phloios meaning, “bark”
- transports dissolved organic / food materials from
the Ieaves to the different parts of the plant
- glucose in phloem moves in aII directions
Types
1. Primary phloem – differentiate from procambium and
extends throughout the primary body of the plant.
2. Secondary phloem – differentiates from the vascular
cambium and constitute the inner layer of the bark.
PhIoem
38.
39. Sieve tube elements
main conducting ceIIs of phloem
elongated and non-nucleated
uniformly thin walled with the end walls perforated to
from the sieve plate.
Sieve tube element are attached end to end to form
the sieve tube.

42. Translocation
• Translocation is the movement of organic
compounds produced by the plant such as
carbohydrates and amino acids.
• Translocation occurs through the phloem.
• Translocation occurs downwards as roots are
often “sinks” for storing carbohydrates.
• Translocation can also occur upwards as new
shoots and growth will need a supply of carbs.
• Translocation is an active process requiring
energy.
43. Translocation
• Movement of fluids through phloem occurs due to
pressure gradients.
• Pressure will build up in a area in which a
material is being actively pumped into the sieve
tubes. It will be decreased in the area at which
this material is being used.
• This difference in pressure will cause the net
movement of material to the place that it is
required.

45. The classification of flowering plants into two
major groups was first published by John
Ray in 1682, and later by the botanist
Antoine in 1789, replacing the earlier
classifications.
According to this classification, flowering
plants were divided onto eight major groups,
the largest number of species belonging
to monocots and dicots.
47. What are they?
• Monocotyledons (Monocots) – These
plants have specific characteristics
that class them as such.
• Some examples are:
– Palms
– Grasses
– Orchids
– onions
49. What are they?
• Dicotyledons (Dicots) – Dicots also
have special characteristics.
• Some examples of Dicots are:
– Oaks
– Roses
– Mustards
– Cacti
– sunflowers
60. Vascular Tissue in the Root
• Within the root the vascular tissue is located in
the centre of the root and is known as the stele
• The stele is enclosed by the endodermis
61. Vascular Tissue in the Stem
• In the stem vascular tissue takes the form of bundles
in dicot plants.
• The xylem is located towards the inside of the stem
• The phloem is located towards the outside of the
stem
62. Vascular Tissue in the Leaves
• Vascular tissue in the leaves also takes the form
of bundles but these bundles run across the leaf
as “veins”
• Xylem forms the upper part of the bundle
• Phloem forms the lower part of the bundle

67. Points to Note
Conjoint: Xylem and phloem occurs in same bundle.
Collateral: Phloem lies towards the outer side and xylem occurs
towards the inner side.
Open: Cambium is present between phloem and xylem.
Closed: Cambium is absent between phloem and xylem.
Exarch: Protoxylem lies towards the outerside and metaxylem
towards the centre.
Endarch: Metaxylem lies towards the outer side and
protoxylem towards the inner side.
