Plant Tissues: Overview
Meristems, Simple Tissues, &
Complex Tissues
Many of the figures found in this presentation are from the internet site
http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/images/130/ and a CD entitled “Plant Anatomy” by
Richard Crang & Andrey Vassilyev published by McGraw Hill.
Meristematic tissues – localized
regions of cell division
 Apical Meristems
 Primary or Transitional Meristem  Primary growth
 Protoderm  gives rise to epidermis
 Ground meristem  gives rise to ground tissue
 Procambium  gives rise to 1
o
vascular tissue
 Lateral Meristems
 Vascular cambium  2
o
vascular tissue
 Cork cambium or phellogen  periderm
 Intercalary Meristems (found in the nodes of grasses)

1. Interphase
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
Cell Division: Mitosis (nuclear division) +
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division)
Shoot Apical Meristem
Root Apical Meristem

2. Protoderm
3. Ground
meristem
4. Procambium
5. Root cap
Lateral Meristems – secondary
growth in woody plants
Basswood – root in cross section
Basswood – stem in cross
section; 1, 2, 3 year old stems
Intercalary Meristems in Grasses

Simple Tissues – consisting of one
cell type
 Parenchyma – thin walled & alive at maturity; often
multifaceted.
 Collenchyma – thick walled & alive at maturity
 Sclerenchyma – thick walled and dead at maturity
 Sclerids or stone cells – cells as long as they are wide
 Fibers – cells longer than they are wide
 Epidermis – alive at maturity
 Trichomes – “pubescence” or hairs on epidermis
 Root Hairs – tubular extensions of epidermal cells

Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma

Stocking & Barbour, 1974, Botany: An
Introduction to Plant Biology, 5th Ed.
SCLERIDS FIBERS
Epidermis – stoma, trichomes, & root hairs
http://www.ucd.ie/botany/Steer/hair/roothairs.html
Complex Tissue
 Xylem – water conducting tissue; parenchyma, fibers,
vessels and/or tracheids, and ray cells.
 Phloem food conducting tissue; sieve-tube members
(no nucleus at maturity, cytoplasm present),
companion cells, fibers, parenchyma, and ray
cells. In flowering plants, sieve-tube members and
companion cells arise from the same mother cell.
 Periderm – protective covering; composed of cork
and parenchyma.
 Secretory structures – responsible for making latex,
resins, nectar and other substances produced and
stored in channels inside the plant body.
Xylem
Phloem
Vascular Bundles with xylem & phloem
Maize or Corn – vein in cross
section
Alfalfa – vein in cross section
Periderm – cork & parenchyma
TWIG WITH LENTICELS
Secretory Structures
 nectar (flowers) from nectaries
 oils (peanuts, oranges, citrus) from accumulation of
glands and elaioplasts.
 resins (conifers) from resin canals
 lacticifers (e.g., latex - milkweed, rubber plants,
opium poppy)
 hydathodes (openings for secretion of water)
 digestive glands of carnivorous plants (enzymes)
 salt glands that shed salt (especial in plants adapted to
environments laden with salt).
