Study Notes
Plant Anatomy Drawings and Diagrams
- The book is titled "Drawings of Plant Anatomy" and was created by Dr. Bahia Abdel-Sallam Abdel-Ghaffar, a professor of Plant Physiology at Tanta University, Faculty of Science.
Plant Cell Structure
-
Living cell contents: Nucleus and cytoplasm (Onion bulb scale)
- Cell wall
- Cell membrane
- Peripheral cytoplasm
- Cytoplasmic strands
- Vacuoles
- Nucleus
- Chloroplasts: Examined in a single Elodea leaf (green chloroplasts)
- Chromoplasts: Examined in a piece of tomato fruit (different crystalline shapes)
Non-Living Cell Contents: Starch Grains
- Simple starch grains (e.g., centric hilum)
- Semi-compound starch grains (e.g., potato tuber)
- Compound starch grains (e.g., pea seeds, rice grains)
- Excentric hilum
- Rice grains
- Pea seeds
- Potato tuber
Protein Granules
- Wheat grain: Aleurone layer, pericarp + testa, starchy layers (a cross-section)
- Ricinus seed: Removing testa, pressing endosperm, mounting in oil for examining aleurone granules (globoid, cristalloid, amorphous protein)
Calcium Oxalate
- Raphides: long, needle-shaped crystals (cross-section of asparagus tuber petiole)
- Druses: cluster of small crystals (cross-section of cotton leaf)
- Rhombic shaped: (cross-section of Begnonia leaf)
Apical Meristems
- Root apex: Longitudinal section (L.S.) of Vicia faba root tip (plerome or procambium, periblem, dermatogen, calyptra or root cap)
- Shoot apex: Longitudinal section (L.S.) of seedling shoot apex (promeristem, bud primordium, leaf primordium, protoderm, ground meristem, procambium). Figures show steps in mitotic divisions.
Ground Tissues (Parenchyma)
-
Shape of parenchyma cells:
- Spherical: (e.g., tomato fruit)
- Angular: (e.g., Rosa stem)
- Elongated: (e.g., dicot leaf of cotton)
- Lobed: (e.g., dicot leaf of cotton)
- Folded: (e.g., Pinus leaf)
- Stelar: (e.g., Canna leaf petiole)
Collenchyma Cells
-
Types of collenchyma cells:
- Angular: (e.g., Ricinus leaf petiole)
- Cartilagenous: (e.g., Morus leaf petiole)
- Lamellar: (e.g., Helianthus stem)
- Lacunar: (e.g., Ricinus leaf petiole)
Sclerenchyma Cells
-
Sclereids:
- Macrosclereids
- Brachy sclereids
- Osteosclereids
- Astrosclereids
Fibers (Xylary and Extra-Xylary)
- Xylary fibers (e.g., Luffa stem)
- Extra-xylary fibers (e.g., Luffa stem fibers, showing different cross-sections). Diagrams illustrates Xylem elements (vessels, tracheids, fibers, parenchyma)
Phloem
- Phloem elements: sieve tube, companion cells, fibers, parenchyma (L.S. of Luffa stem and T.S. of Zea mays stem)
Types of Vascular Bundles
- Collateral: xylem and phloem at the same radius (Open: with cambium, e.g., Helianthus stem; Closed: without cambium, e.g., Zea mays stem).
- Bicollateral: phloem on both sides of xylem
- Radial: xylem and phloem alternate in the stem, with xylem and phloem, alternated in the radius of the stem, e.g.. Vicia faba root
- Concentric: one tissue surrounds another (amphivasal: xylem surrounds phloem, or amphicribral: phloem surrounds xylem, in Polypodium and Dracena stems)
Young Dicotyledonous Plant Body
- Diagrams show a cross-section (T.S.) of Helianthus stem, highlighting epidermis, cortex (collenchyma, parenchyma, starch sheath), pericycle, vascular bundles (primary xylem, primary phloem, cambium), and pith.
Young Monocotyledonous Plant Body
- Diagrams show a cross-section of Zea mays stem and its components, including epidermis, sclerenchyma cells, ground tissues (parenchyma), closed vascular bundles, and bundle sheath.
Young Dicotyledonous Roots
- Diagrams show a cross-section of Vicia faba root, featuring the piliferous layer, cortex (parenchyma cells), endodermis, pericycle, xylem, phloem, and root hairs.
Young Monocotyledonous Roots
- Diagrams show cross-sections of Ruscus roots, including the piliferous layer, exodermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, xylem,phloem and pith.
Leaves
- Dicot leaf: cross-section of a cotton leaf (upper and lower epidermis, palisade tissue, spongy tissue, stoma, xylem, phloem, collenchyma, and druses).
- Monocot leaf: cross-sections of Cyperus leaf (upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll tissues, vascular bundles, stomata, guard cells) and a detailed diagram of a Zea mays leaf (upper and lower epidermis, chlorenchyma, vascular bundles, stomata, guard cells, sclerenchyma fibers, parenchyma, bundle sheath). Figures also illustrate stomata in surface view.
