Meristematic Tissues: Characteristics, Classification & Function. ... Meristematic tissue is group of immature cells that has capacity of division and redivision. The term meristem was coined by Nageli (1858). Meristemsin plants are found in apex of stem, root, leaf primordia, vascular cambium, cork cambium, etc.
Alternation of generation in archegoniatesSumit Sangwan
Altrenation of generations:
All plants undergo a life cycle that takes them through both haploid and diploid generations. The multicellular diploid plant structure is called the sporophyte, which produces spores through meiotic (asexual) division. The multicellular haploid plant structure is called the gametophyte, which is formed from the spore and give rise to the haploid gametes. The fluctuation between these diploid and haploid stages that occurs in plants is called the alternation of generations.
Bryophyte generations
Bryophytes are nonvascularized plants that are still dependent on a moist environment for survival (see Plant Classification, Bryophytes . Like all plants, the bryophyte life cycle goes through both haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (sporophyte) stages. The gametophyte comprises the main plant (the green moss or liverwort), while the diploid sporophyte is much smaller and is attached to the gametophyte. The haploid stage, in which a multicellular haploid gametophyte develops from a spore and produces haploid gametes, is the dominant stage in the bryophyte life cycle. The mature gametophyte produces both male and female gametes, which join to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the diploid sporophyte, which extends from the gametophyte and produces haploid spores through meiosis. Once the spores germinate, they produce new gametophyte plants and the cycle continues.
Tracheophyte Generations
Tracheophytes are plants that contain vascular tissue; two of the major classes of tracheophytes are gymnosperms (conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants). Tracheophytes, unlike bryophytes, have developed seeds that encase and protect their embryos. The dominant phase in the tracheophyte life cycle is the diploid (sporophyte) stage. The gametophytes are very small and cannot exist independent of the parent plant. The reproductive structures of the sporophyte (cones in gymnosperms and flowers in angiosperms), produce two different kinds of haploid spores: microspores (male) and megaspores (female). This phenomenon of sexually differentiated spores is called heterospory. These spores give rise to similarly sexually differentiated gametophytes, which in turn produce gametes. Fertilization occurs when a male and female gamete join to form a zygote. The resulting embryo, encased in a seed coating, will eventually become a new sporophyte.

Structure, Development & Function of PeridermFatima Ramay
A group of secondary tissues forming a protective layer which replaces the epidermis of many plant stems, roots, and other parts.
Although periderm may develop in leaves and fruits, its main function is to protects stems and roots.
The periderm consists of three different layers:
Phelloderm
Phellogen (cork cambium)
Phellem (cork)
Its main function is to protect the underlying tissues from:
Desiccation
Freezing
Heat injury
Mechanical destruction
Disease
Loss of epidermis.
Bounding tissue restricting the pathogen & insects.
Allowing gaseous exchange through lenticels.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
3. TYPHA
• Typha is a hydrophytes.
• Plants that grow in water or very wet places.
• They may be submerged or partly
submerged,floting or amphibious.
• Their structural adaptations are mainly due
to high water content and the definite supply
of oxygen.
5. Epidermis
• In aquatic plants the epidermis is not protective
but absorbs gases and nutrients directly from
the water.
• The epidermis in typical hydrophyte has an
extremely thin cuticle,and the thin cellulose wall
permit ready absorption from the surrounding
water.
• Commonly the chloroplast are found in
epidermal cells of leaves, especially when the
leaves are very thin;these chloroplasts utilize
the weak light under water for photosynthesis.
6. Lack of sclerenchyma:-
• Submerged plants usually have few or no
sclerenchymtous tissues and calls.
• The water it self gives support to the plant,and
protects it to some extent from injury.
• Thethick walls of tissues, their density and the
presence of collenchyma in some plants give
some rigidity.
7. Minimum development of vasculae
tissue:-
• The xylem shows the greatest reduction.
• In this plants, there is a well developed xylem
lacuma in the position of xylem.
• The lacunae resemble typical air-chambers.
• The phloem is fairly well developed as compared
with the xylem. The endodermis is usually
present around stele,but it is wekly developed.
8. Development of air-chamber:-
• Chambers and passages filled with gases are
commonly found in the leaves and stems or
hydrophytes.
• The air-chambers are large, usually regular,
intercellur spaces extending through the leaf
and often for long distances through the stem.
• The spaces are usually separated by partitions of
photosynthetic tissue.the carbon dioxide that is
given off in respiration is stored in these cavity
for photosynthesis.
9.
10. Nymphea
• The phyllode is the most interesting
modification of petiole.
• The petiole becomes flattened and leaf like.
• The flattened petiole which looks like
ordinary leaf is called phyllode.
• Usually the phyllode is isolateral, so that,
both the surface are equally illuminated.
11.
12. Epidermis:-
• It consists of a single row of cells covered
with well developed cuticle.
• Sunken stomata are present. The margin of
phyllode possess radicaly elongated
epidermal cells covered with thick cuticle.
• Below each stomata there lies a well defined
substomatal chamber for exchange of gasese.
13. Pallisade and parenchyma:-
• Just beneath the epidermis one or two layers
of pallisade parenchyma are present which
help in photosynthesis.
• The central region is occupied by thin-walled
living parenchyma cells having well
developed intercellular spaces among them.
14. Vascular system:-
• Just like in petiole the vascular bundles from a
ring and are arranged below the palisade tissue.
• The central and marginal vascular bundles are
sufficiently big in size.
• Each vascular bundle consit of xylem and
phloem.around the central and marginal
vascular bundles well developed sclerenchyma
is found.
15. • Vascular bundles are arranged in a complete
ring the central and marginal bundles are
bigger in size.
• Pallisade tissue is present
• Radically elongated epidermal cells are found
at the margins.
18. Epidermis:-
• The epidermis is found on both upper and lower
surfaces of the leafe. The epidermal layers are
uniseriate and composed of more or less oval
cells.
• The outer wall of the epidermal cells is
cuticularized.
• The upper epidermis my be easily identified due
to the presence of xylem.
19. Mesophyll:-
• As the leaf is isobilateral the mesophyll is not
differentiated into palisade and spongy
tissues.
• It is composed of compactly arranged
thinwalled, isodiametric chlorophyllous
intercellular spaces among them.
20. Vascular bundles:-
• The vascular bundles are collateral and closed as
found in monocotyledon.
• Most of the bundles are small in size but fairly
large bundles also occurs at regulsr intervals.
• The xylem is found toward upper side in the
bundles.sclerenchyma cell occur in patches on
both ends of the large vascular bundles which
give mechanical support to the leafe.
