5. Meristematic Tissues
• Derived from Greek meristos –
“Divided”
• Unspecialized cells that can divided
indefinitely to produce new cells
• Meristems is the region where
meristematic cells dwell
• Meristematic tissues are usually
found at the apex of root and shoot
6.
7. Characteristics of Meristematic
tissues
• They are living and have thin walled
• Cells are spherical, oval or polygonal
in shape
• Vacuoles are few and small in size
• Dense protoplasm and conspicuous
nuclei
A typical Meristematic Tissue
8. Classification of Meristem
Based on:
Origin
Based on:
Position
1. Promeristem
2. Primary meristem
3. Secondary meristem
1. Apical meristem
2. Intercalary meristem
3. Lateral meristem
9. Promeristem
• Early embryonic meristem from which
other advanced meristems are derived
• Their function is to produce the cells of
the primary meristems
• It’s made up of Initials
• It divide further to form primary
meristem
Leaf primordium
10. Primary Meristems
• Derived from Promeristem
• Give rise to the primary tissue
systems: protoderm, ground
meristem & procambium
• These cells divide and form
permanent tissues
11. Secondary Meristem
• Derived from primary meristem
permanent tissues that have the
capacity of division
• Form meristematic tissues
(Cambium)
→Vascular cambium
→Cork cambium
12. Classification Based on Their Position
1. Apical Meristem
2. Intercalary Meristem
3. Lateral Meristem
13. Apical Meristem:
• Located at the tips of root and
shoots of plants
• For Primary growth
Shoot apical meristem
16. Lateral Meristems:
• lies on the side of the plant’s
body.
• Gives the plant it’s width or
girth (Secondary growth)
• Produces secondary tissues
that function primarily in
support and conduction.

20. Parenchyma Cells
• Major plant tissue found in all types of
plants
• They are less spherical, oval, cubical, or
elongated in shape
• Have very large vacuoles and are
frequently found in all roots, stems,
leaves and fruits
22. Function of Parenchyma Cell
• Aid in photosynthesis
• Store foods and water in leaves,
stems, seeds and fruits
• Controls plant’s metabolism like
photosynthesis, respiration
23. Collenchyma Cells
• From Greek Kolla – “ Glue”
• They are alive during the cell
maturity
• Cells are elongated
• They have a thicker and more uneven
wall than parenchyma cells
24. Function of Collenchyma Cell
• The main function of collenchyma cells is to
provide flexibility
25. Sclerenchyma Cells
• From a greek word – skleros meaning
“hard”
• Thick, tough secondary cell wall
normally impregnated with lignin
• Most are dead at maturity
• They vary in shape but are often cubical
• Provide rigid structure and protection
26. • They provide structural strength in regions
that have stopped growing in length and no
longer need to be flexible
• 2 main kinds:
fibers and sclereids
Fibers are elongated with secondary walls and
impregnated with lignin
They are usually in group and this enable stems
to move in wind without snapping.
Sclereids vary in shape but are often
cubical or spherical
They make structures rock-hard and inflexible
27.
28. COMPLEX TISSUE
• Mixture of two or more simple tissues
• These simple tissues can modify into more specialized cells for
transport , support, and protection.
• Complex tissues are organized into three functional unit known as a
Tissue System, and they are continuous throughout the plant
29. • The three tissue systems in vascular plants are
the
• Dermal tissue system
• Vascular tissue system
• Ground tissue system
30.
31. A. The Dermal Tissue System
• Dermal from Greek derma – “Skin”
• The dermal tissue system is the outer protective covering of the
plant.
• In a typical plant the dermal tissue is made of one layer with their
cells closely packed together to produce a secure boundary known
as Epidermis.
32. The Dermal Tissue System
• In plants that have more than one
growing season, the epidermis of the
stem and root is replaced by a protective
tissue known as Periderm.
33. Features of The Epidermis
• The dermal tissue can become more
modified through the production of hair
like extensions called Trichomes.
• E.g. in specialized, stinging hairs of Urtica
(Nettle) species they deliver inflammatory
chemicals such as histamine
35. • On top of the epidermis is a thin layer of waxy cuticle made of fatty
substance called cutin
• The guard cell formed tiny hole on the
leaves known as stoma (stomata).
• The epidermis also has two highly
specialized cells that contains chloroplast
known as guard cells
36. B. The Vascular Tissue System
• It’s a continuous system of tissue that conduct water, minerals, and
food.
• This system consist of two complex tissues namely;
‒ Xylem
‒ Phloem
• Sap is the contents transported by both tissues
38. • The basic function of xylem is to transport water from roots to shoot
and leaves
• It also transports some nutrients
• Xylem consists of a combination of Tracheids, Vessel, Parenchyma
Cells, and Fibers
39. • Tracheids
‒ Long cells with tapered ends
‒ They are highly differentiated type of
sclerenchyma cells
‒ Dead at maturity and provide functional
support
‒ Tracheid secondary cell wall has thinner
regions called pits
Tracheids
40. • Vessel
− These are long tubes composed of
individual cells called vessel elements
− Vessel elements are formed by dead cells
and serve as pipeline system in plants
− They transport water and minerals more
rapidly than tracheids
Vessel member
41. • Parenchyma cells
− Xylem parenchyma cells
like other parenchyma cells
helps to store food
‒ Xylem fibers are tread like
cells that provide support to
the tissues as well as the
plants
• Fibers
43. Xylem
• How does the xylem transport water from the roots to the rest of
the plant against gravity?
• The transport is passive, its not powered by energy.
• Several phenomena cause xylem sap to flow:
─ Pressure flow hypothesis
─ Transpirational pull
─ Root pressure
45. II. Phloem
• Phloem tissue conducts dissolved food
materials produced by photosynthesis
throughout the plant
• It’s composed mostly of two types of cells
without secondary walls
• These are:
─ Sieve tubes member (elements)
─ Companion cell
─ Phloem parenchyma
46. Phloem
• Companion cells: are adjacent the
sieve-tube members and it gives
them metabolic support
• Sieve-tube: at maturity don’t have
a nucleus therefore companion cell
do supply them with protein
47.
48. C. Ground Tissue System
• Also called the fundamental tissue system
• Consist of all the tissues other than the vascular and dermal tissue
system
• The are usually formed between the dermal and vascular tissue
were they are known as the Cortex.
• The ground tissues can appear on the inside of vascular tissues
sometimes and here they are called Pith

Editor's Notes
Work on the chapter outline properly
Cells are spherical, oval or polygonal in shape
Do not store reserve food materials and are in an active state of metabolism
Change the images here
Find different image to replace the above image
In Plants, it occupies a small area at the tip of stem and root
Continuous division is the characteristic of initials
They are present below the Promeristem at shoot and root apex
Vascular cambium, responsible for the secondary thickening of plant organs
Cork cambium, which produce the periderm which provides extra protection to plants that undergo secondary growth through the production of dermal tissues
Apical meristem produce PRIMARY MERISTEMS;
Protoderm
Ground meristem
Procambium
The tissues produce by the above primary meristems are called PRIMARY TISSUES
Node
Internode
The vascular cambium and cork cambium, are lateral meristems
After cells are produced by meristems, the cells assume various shapes and sizes related to their functions as they develop and mature
Have thin primary cell wall
Serve as space-fillers and structural components
Chlorenchyma;
Provides support to plants and also stores food
Contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis
Aerenchyma;
Provides buoyancy to the plant to help the float
Found in leaf blades and below the stalks below epidermis
In other to provide support both parenchyma and collenchyma cells must be turgid
Lignin makes them flexible as well as strong
such as a mixture of parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and water conducting cells.
All of which originates from meristematic cells
The dermal tissue begin as parenchyma cells, which are then modified to form various types of cells that protect the plant from physical damage and desiccation
The periderm consists mainly of nonliving cork cells that protect the plants from predators and water loss
Plants may use trichomes in order to inhibit herbivore attack via Physical and/or Chemical means.
The function of this layer is to prevent water loss
Xylem brings water and mineral nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Phloem moves sugar and organic nutrients (food produced by photosynthesis) from the leaves to the rest of the plant
They were the first water conducting cells to evolve in vascular plants
They align with each other to form a continuous water- conducting system
Tracheids have Pits and they are areas in which no secondary wall material has been deposited
PITS are gaps or holes in the secondary cell wall
PIT allow water to pass from one cell to another
In some plants, the pit function in regulating the passage of water between adjacent cells
Some plants have bordered pits. Bordered pits have a thick area called TORUS, in the center of the pit membrane
Torus acts like a valve to control water and minerals flow b/w cells
These are long tubes composed of individual cells called Vessel elements, that are open at each end
They transport water more rapidly than tracheid. HOWEVER, if air bubble forms in a single tracheid, the flow of water is hinder only in that cell but affect the other cells water movement
AIR AMBUSM
Pressure flow hypothesis: Sugars produced in the leaves and other green tissues are kept in the phloem system, creating a solute pressure difference
the xylem system carrying a far lower load of solutes- water and minerals
EDUCATION GAME
Divide the class into three groups and allow each group to discuss how the xylem transport water and minerals as per the phenomena assign to each group. Ask every student to have an idea of how this occur.
Access the discussion for POSITIVE and NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
Phloem tissue conducts dissolved food materials (primarily sugars) produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant
Unlike tracheids sieve-tube members remain alive at maturity, therefore making them highly differentiated parenchyma cells
Stacked end-end to form sieve-tubes they conduct organic nutrients from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
Sieve plates is a distinctive feature of the cell which has a cell wall with membrane line pores that allow materials to pass from one cell to another.
