This document provides information about plant tissues. It discusses the two main types of plant tissues - meristems and permanent tissues. Meristems are tissues with cell division abilities and include apical, lateral, and intercalary meristems. Permanent tissues do not divide and include simple tissues like parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma, as well as complex tissues like xylem and phloem. It also describes the functions and characteristics of epidermis, cork, and other specific plant tissue types. Various activities provide examples and questions to test understanding of plant tissue organization and functions.

The living plant cell
What is the main differences between plant cell and animal cell??
Cell wall: Formed of cellulose.
Chloroplast: Responsible for photosynthesis.
Vacuole: much larger in plant cells, store any nutrients and waste products .
slide1- introduction
slide2-Plant Tissue
Plant tissues are of two types :-
Meristematic tissue
Permanent tissue
slide3-Meristematic Tissue
Meristematic tissues continuously form a number of new cells and helps in growth and are generally made up live cells . Meristematic tissues are the group of cells that have the ability to divide. These tissues in a plant consist of small, densely packed cells that can keep dividing to form new cells. Meristems give rise to permanent tissues and have the following characteristics:
the cells are small,
the cells walls are thin,
cells have large nuclei,
vacuoles are absent or very small
there are no intercellular spaces.
Types of Meristematic Tissue
Apical Meristem:- Apical meristem is present on root apex, stem apex, leaf buds and flower buds. They are responsible for growth in length, i.e. primary growth.
Lateral Meristem: Lateral meristem is present along the side of the stem. They are responsible for growth in girth, i.e. secondary growth.
Intercalary Meristem: Intercalary meristem is present at the base of leaf or internodes. They are present on either side of the node.
slide4-Permanent Tissue [Plant Tissue]
Once the cells of meristematic tissue divide to a certain extent, they become specialized for a particular function. This process is called differentiation. Once differentiation is accomplished, the cells lose their capability to divide and the tissue becomes permanent tissue. Permanent tissues are of two types, simple permanent tissue and complex permanent tissue.
Permanent tissue gives support and are generally made up of dead cells . The cells of permanent tissues do not have the ability to divide. These cells are already differentiated in different tissue types and is now specialized to perform specific functions. They are subdivided into two groups, simple tissues consisting of cells which are more or less similar, e.g. epidermis, parenchyma, chlorenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma and complex tissues consisting of different kinds of cells, e.g. xylem and phloem.
slide5-Parenchyma tissue
The cells of parenchyma have thin cell wall. They are loosely packed; with lot of intercellular spaces between them. Parenchyma makes the largest portion of a plant body. Parenchyma mainly works are packing material in plant parts. The main function of parenchyma is to provide support and to store food.
It is loosely packed and inter cellular spaces are there .
In aquatic plants , air is filled in parenchyma tissue , so they are called Arenchyma .
Parenchyma in which chlorophyll is present is called chlorenchyma .
slide6- Collenchyma tissue
In collenchyma tissue , the cells are generally elongated and are circular , oval or polygonal in cross- section. Cell wall is evenly thickened with cellulose at the corners . It is present on internodes of the plant . It is closely packed and intercellular spaces are generally absent. It is a living cell and vacuo
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.

Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance

Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.
Monitor common gases, weather parameters, particulates.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

PLANT TISSUE
1. Tissue is a group of cells having similar origin,
structure& function. Study of tissues is called Histology
2. In unicellularorganism (Amoeba) single cell performs
all basic functions, whereas in multi-cellularorganisms
(Plants and Animals) shows divisionof laboras Plant
tissue& Animal tissues.
3. 3
Plant tissues are two types: Meristems & Permanent tissues.
Meristems: The Meristems are the tissues having the power of
cell division.It is found on those regions of the plant which
grows
Types of Meristems;
1. The Apical meristems– It is present at the growing tip of the
stem and roots and increases the length.
2. The lateral meristems - present at the lateralside of stem
and root (cambium) and increase the girth.
3. The intercalary meristems - present at internodes or base of
the leaves and increase the length between the nodes.
Permanent tissues: Two types such as Simple permanent
tissues & Complexpermanent tissues.
a) Simple permanent tissues: subdividedas
(i): Parenchyma: Tissues provide the support to plants. They
are loosly packed and have large intracellularspace.
4. 4
- Parenchyma with chlorophyllwhich performs photosynthesis
is called as chlorenchyma.
- The parenchyma with large air spaces to give buoyancyis
called as aerenchyma.
Parenchyma also stores food and water.
(ii) Collenchyma: Tissue provides mechanicalsupport,
thickened at the corners, have very little intercellularspace. It
allowseasy bending of various parts of plants without breaking
(iii) Sclerenchyma:Tissue makes the planthard and stiff,
thickened due to lignin and no intercellularspace.
Cells of this tissue are dead and commonly seen in the husk of
5. 5
coconut.
(iv) Guard cells and epidermal tissue: The tissue aidsin
protection and exchange of gases. Guard cells kidney shaped in
dicots, dumb bell shaped in monocots to guard the stomata.
The epidermaltissues of roots aid in absorptionof water and
minerals.
The epidermaltissues in desert plantshave a thick waxy coating
of Cutin with waterproof quality.
The epidermaltissues form the several layer thick Cork or the
Bark of the tree.
Epidermis: Epidermis forms one cell thick outermost layer of
various body organs of plants such as leaves, flowers, stems and
roots.
Epidermis is covered outside by cuticle. Cuticle is a water proof
layer of waxy substance called as cutin which is secreted by the
epidermal cells. Cuticle is very thick in xerophytes.
Cells of epidermis of leaves are not continuous at some places
due to the presence of small pores called as stomata. Each stoma
is guarded by a pair of bean shaped cells called as guard cells.
These are the only epidermal cells which possess chloplasts, the
rest being colorless.
6. 6
Functions :
(i) The main function of epidermisis to protect the plant from
desiccation and infection.
(ii) Cuticle of epidermis cuts the rate of transpiration and
evaporationof water and prevents wilting.
(iii) Stomata in epidermis allow gaseous exchange to occur
during photosynthesisrespiration.
(iv) Stomata also helps in transpiration.
Cork or phellem : in older roots and stems, tissues at the
periphery become cork cells or phellem cells.
Cork is made up to dead cells with thick walls and do not have
any intercellular spaces. The cell walls in cork deposit waxy
substance called as suberin.
The cells of cork become impermeable to water and gasses due
to the deposition of suberin. The cork cells are without any
protoplasm but are filled with resins or tannins.
Functions:
7. 7
(i) Cork is protective in function. Cork cells prevent desiccation,
infection and mechanical injury.
(ii) Imperviousness, lightness, toughness, compressibility and
elasticity make the cork commercially valuable.
(iii) Cork is used for insulation, as shock absorber in linoleum.
(iv) Cork is used in the making of a variety of sport goods such
as cricket balls, table tennis, shuttle cocks, wooden paddles etc.
b) Complex permanent tissues: The complex tissues are made
of more than one type of cells. All these cells coordinateto
perform a common function.
They are subdividedas;
Xylem: It consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and
xylem fibers. The cells have thick walls,
Function - aids in conduction of water and minerals.
Phloem: It consists of sieve tubes, companioncells, phloem
parenchyma, and phloem fibers.
Function - Phloem transports food material to other parts of
the plants..
