ORGANIZATION OF THE PLANT
TISSUES
MERISTEMATIC TISSUES –
LOCALIZED REGIONS OF CELL
DIVISION
Apical Meristems
Primary or Transitional Meristem Primary
growth
Protoderm gives rise to epidermis
Ground meristem gives rise to ground tissue
o
Procambium gives rise to 1 vascular tissue
Lateral Meristems
o
Vascularcambium 2 vascular tissue
Cork cambium or phellogen periderm
Intercalary Meristems (found in the nodes
of grasses)
SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM

INTERCALARY MERISTEMS IN
GRASSES
SIMPLE TISSUES – CONSISTING OF
ONE CELL TYPE
Parenchyma – thin walled & alive at
maturity; often multifaceted.
Collenchyma – thick walled & alive at
maturity
Sclerenchyma – thick walled and dead at
maturity
Sclerids or stone cells – cells as long as they are
wide
Fibers – cells longer than they are wide
Epidermis – alive at maturity
Trichomes – “pubescence” or hairs on epidermis
Root Hairs – tubular extensions of epidermal cells
PARENCHYMA
COLLENCHYMA
SCLERENCHYMA
EPIDERMIS – STOMA, TRICHOMES,
& ROOT HAIRS
COMPLEX TISSUE
Xylem – water conducting tissue; parenchyma,
fibers, vessels and/or tracheids, and ray cells.
Phloem food conducting tissue; sieve-tube
members (no nucleus at maturity, cytoplasm
present), companion cells, fibers, parenchyma,
and ray cells. In flowering plants, sieve-tube
members and companion cells arise from the
same mother cell.
Periderm – protective covering; composed of
cork and parenchyma.
Secretory structures – responsible for making
latex, resins, nectar and other substances
produced and stored in channels inside the plant
body.
