In this article we will discuss about the mechanical tissue in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of mechanical tissues in plants. The tissue that supports a plant and their growing organs against any deformation and provides mechanical strength is termed as mechanical tissue. Haberlandt (1914) called the mechanical tissue as stereome. Schwendener in [...]
In this article we will discuss about the construction and distribution of mechanical cells in plants. The principle regarding the construction of mechanical tissue is to obtain maximum mechanical rigidity and elasticity with minimum expenditure of materials. This principle is observed in roots, stems, fruit stalks, branches etc., but the arrangement of mechanical cells varies greatly in them. The organs [...]
In this article we will discuss about the evolution of stele in a plant. Stele (= Greek word meaning a column) can be defined as the unit of vascular system that is made up of xylem, phloem, interfascicular tissues, medullary rays, pericycle and pith (if present). The term stele refers to the central core of plant axis and is restricted [...]
