Plant Organs
The 3 primary organs found in plants are:• Leaves• Stems• Roots
Since flowers are thought to have evolved from leaves, they are called “reproductive structures”.
Leaves, stems, roots, and flowers are all made up of various tissues.
![Page 3: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Plant Tissues
Plant Tissues fall into two large categories:
• Meristematic, or
• Permanent (Non-Meristematic)
![Page 4: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Meristematic Tissues
Meristems are places in plants where cell division is occurring.
During cell division, one cell becomes two cells. Each new cell can also divide.
![Page 5: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Meristematic Tissues
In this class we will discuss three kinds of meristems:
• Apical Meristems• Intercalary Meristems• Lateral Meristems
![Page 6: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Apical Meristems In plants belonging to
the DICOT class, apical meristems are located in BOTH the shoot tips and root tips. A shoot is simply a young, leaf-bearing stem.
In plants belonging to the MONOCOT class, apical meristems are located ONLY in the root tips.

Apical Meristems
Apical meristems cause PRIMARY GROWTH.
As cells in apical meristems divide and elongate, shoot tips and root tips grow longer. This increase in length is called primary growth.

![Page 8: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Apical Meristems•Primary growth of shoots and roots occurs as the cells of the apical meristem divide and elongate.
![Page 9: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Apical Meristems
A bud is a dormant apical meristem.
When conditions are favorable for growth, buds “break” and begin pushing out new growth.

Buds
Buds come in 3 basic types:• Vegetative-produce stems and leaves.• Flower-produce only flowers.• Mixed-produce stems/leaves and flowers.
![Page 11: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Pussy WillowPussy Willow is a plant which bears separate vegetative and flower buds. In the image to the left you can see vegetative buds producing green leaves and flower buds producing male flowers (the species is dioecious). Also, note that the two different types of buds are indistinguishable from one another.

Lantanaphyllum Viburnum
Viburnum x rhytidophylloides, Lantanaphyllum Viburnum, also bears separate vegetative and flower buds. However, the two types of buds are distinctly different from one another in appearance.

Intercalary Meristems
In addition to the apical meristems located in their root tips, plants in the MONOCOT class have special meristems called intercalary meristems.
Intercalary meristems are located on monocots where the leaf bases connect to the stem of the plant.
![Page 16: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Intercalary Meristems
Monocots, like grasses, have intercalary meristems which allow the leaves to grow
back after mowing.
![Page 17: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lateral Meristems In addition to the
apical meristems located in the shoot and root tips, plants in the DICOT class have lateral meristems.
Lateral meristems cause SECONDARY GROWTH.
Secondary growth causes stems and roots to grow larger in diameter.
Lateral Meristems cause an increase in stem diameter
![Page 18: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lateral Meristems
Think of a lateral meristem as being a cylinder, several cell layers thick, of actively dividing cells.
![Page 19: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lateral Meristems MONOCOTS do not have lateral
meristems. Lateral meristems come in two basic types: Vascular cambium; meristematic tissue
located between the xylem and phloem. The vascular cambium makes new xylem and phloem cells.
Cork cambium; meristematic tissue located just below the bark in woody dicot stems. The cork cambium makes new bark cells.
![Page 20: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Permanent Tissues Permanent tissues are non-meristematic. The following permanent tissues will be
discussed:• epidermis
• xylem
• phloem
• cortex
• pith
• fibers
![Page 23: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Epidermis
The epidermis can be from one to several cell layers thick.
It covers all the parts of a plant; shoots, stems, leaves, and roots.
In woody dicots the epidermis is called the bark or cork.
Agave Epidermis
![Page 24: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Epidermis The epidermis
covering the leaves of plants contains thousands of tiny pores called stomata. The singular of stomata is stoma.
Stomata are usually found on the underside of leaves.
An apple leaf contains 39,000 stomata per square centimeter!
Stoma in Fuchsia
![Page 25: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Epidermis
In most plants the cells of the upper and lower leaf epidermis secrete a waxy substance that covers the leaf and prevents water loss.
This waxy secretion is called a cuticle. Leaf with Cuticle

Epidermis
In many plants, the cells of the upper and lower leaf epidermis are modified to form small hairs.
These small hairs are called pubescence.
Lambs Ear is an example of a herbaceous perennial that has pubescent leaves.

Cortex
The cortex is a tissue found in both the stems and roots of monocots and dicots.
The cortex is made up of thin-walled cells. Vascular bundles are surrounded by the
cortex.
![Page 28: Simplified Plant Tissues Lesson Plan 4 00hblp4v1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d985503460f94a81cd7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Xylem Xylem tissue conducts
water and dissolved mineral nutrients.
It is composed of columns of vessel cells (tracheids in gymnosperms), stacked one upon another, and fibers.
Vessel cell walls are pitted and allow water passage between the xylem and surrounding tissues. Mature xylem cells are dead.Xylem Phloem

Phloem
Phloem tissue conducts the food produced by the leaves in a downwards direction to stems and roots (from source to sink).
Phloem is composed of sieve tubes, companion cells, and fibers.
The end walls of the sieve tubes are called sieve plates.

Fibers
Fiber cells have thick walls. A cluster of fiber cells is called a fiber.
Fibers are associated with the xylem and phloem of both monocots and dicots.
Fibers provide strength and support to xylem and phloem.
Fiber Cell - the cell wall is stained dark red.
