Xylem
• Term introduce by Nageli(1858).
• Greek xylos meaning wood.
• A group of cells which are similar in Origin
and function but of more than One type in
structure.
Functions of xylem
• Water conducting tissue
• Along with phloem make vascular tissue
• Provide support to plants
Elements of xylem
• 1)Tracheary elements
These are nonliving cells, provide support and
conduct water. Two types,
(a)Tracheids: elongate, tube like cell, tapering,
rounded or oval ends, hard lignified walls.
(b)Vessels members: long, cylindrical, tube-like
structures with lignified walls.
Elements of xylem
• (2)Fibres: thick walls, evolve from tracheids
and provide mechanical strength. Two types,
• (a)Fibre-tracheids: medium thickness walls,
have reduced boardered pits.
• (b)Libriform fibres: very thick walls, have
reduced simple pits.
Elements of fibres
• Parenchyma cells: living cells, in woody
plants, store of food in starch form. Two
types:
• (a)Axial parenchyma: derived from fusiform
initials, have tracheary elements and fibres.
• (b)Ray parenchyma: derived from ray initials
of cambium, xylem ray cells.
Types of xylem
• Developmentally, xylem have two types
• (1)Primary xylem: derived from procambium,
developing from embryo, non-woody plants.
• (2)Secondary xylem: from vascular cambium,
second stage of plant development, in woody
plants.
