In the stem of monocot there exist three tissue systems —dermal, vascular and ground tissues, which consist of epidermis, vascular bundles and all tissues except the former two respectively. A brief account of the arrangement and structure is given below. Epidermis: Epidermis is more or less like dicots. In contrast to dicot stem, the epidermis […]

In this article we will discuss about the secondary growth in monocotyledonous stem. Most monocotyledons consist entirely of primary tissues. The usual vascular cambium is absent from this group and so there is no normal secondary growth. However, in some monocots, the thickening and elongation of stem occurs through primary thickening meristem, diffuse secondary thickening […]
