COMPLEX TISSUE -XYLEM
Principle- water conducting tissue
Two types-
1.Primary xylem– Protoxylem and Metaxylem
2. Secondary xylem
4.
ELEMENTS OF XYLEM
TRACHEIDS
VESSELS OR TRACHAEA
XYLEM FIBRES OR WOOD FIBRES
XYLEM PARENCHYMA OR WOOD
PARENCHYMA
5.
TRACHEIDS
Elongated cellwith tapering ends
Dead cells at maturity and lack protoplast
Have large cavity or lumen
Walls hard and usually lignified
Thickening- annular, spiral, Scalariform-Primary
xylem and Pitted –Secondary xylem
In Angiosperms –associated with vessels but in
Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms- main bulk of
xylem
Functions- conduction and storage , supporting
6.
VESSELS
Elongated tube-likestructures-placed end to end
with end walls
End walls-perforated –perforation plates
Perforation Plates- two types
Simple perforation: -single perforation
Multiple Perforation: - two or perforations
Devoid of protoplast
Thickenings-starch, oil and pitted
Found in Angiosperms and few gymnosperms
Functions- Water conduction and support
7.
XYLEM FIBRES ORWOOD FIBRES
Sclerenchyma cells-associated with xylem
Elongated and pointed at both ends
Dead cells
Walls lignified
On the basis of wall thickness-two types-
Libriform fibers- extremely thick
Fiber tracheid's – medium thickness
In some septate fibers are seen
Functions- Mechanical strength,
commercial - Textile, brush, filling fibers etc.
8.
XYLEM PARENCHYMA ORWOOD
PARENCHYMA
• Parenchyma –associated with xylem
• More or less elongated , placed end to end and
may be thick or thin walled
• Living element of xylem
• Found in both primary and secondary xylem
• Functions- storage, conduction
9.
COMPLEX TISSUE -PHLOEM
•Complex permanent tissue
• Also called bast or leptome
• Transport of food materials
• Types-
• Primary Phloem-Protophloem and Meta
phloem
• Secondary Phloem
10.
ELEMENTS OF PHLOEM
1.SIEVE ELEMENTS
2. COMPANION CELLS
3. PHLOEM FIBRES
4. PHLOEM PARENCHYMA
SIEVE TUBES SIEVECELLS
• Long tube like structures-
longitudinal rows –end to end
• Transverse walls –end –
perforated –sieve plates
• Sieve plate –simple and
compound
• Each perforation-surrounded by
ring of callose
• living
• Single cells, do not unite
to form tubes
• Long, slender with
tapering ends
• Walls-abundant sieve
areas-conduction
• Living
• Functions-conduct food
materials
13.
COMPANION CELLS
• Associatedwith sieve tubes
• Living
• Occur along with lateral walls of sieve tubes
• In T.S- rectangular or polyandria
• Absent in Pteridophytes and gymnosperms
• Assist sieve tubes –translocation of food
14.
PHLOEM FIBRES ORBAST FIBRES
• Sclerenchyma associated with phloem
• Elongated, pointed and lignified
• Mechanical support, commercial fibers
15.
PHLOEM PARENCHYMA
• Seenonly in dicot phloem,
absent in monocots
• Occur both in primary and
secondary phloem
• Store- starch, oil and other
foods
