External Form of A Woody Twig Woody twig consists of an axis with attached leaves.  Alternately or Oppositely arranged. - Leaves attached at a node.  Stem region between nodes is an internode.  Leaf has a flattened blade and is usually attached to the twig by a petiole.

External Form of A Woody Twig Axil - Angle between a petiole and the stem.  Axillary Bud located in axil. - Terminal Bud often found at twig tip. Stipules - Paired appendages at the base of a leaf. Often remain throughout leaf life span.  Deciduous trees and shrubs have dormant axillary buds with leaf scars left after leaves fall. - Bundle scars mark food and water conducting tissue.

Origin and Development of Stems Apical meristem is dormant before the beginning of the growing season.  Protected by bud scales and by primordia. When a bud begins to expand, apical meristem cells undergo mitosis and three primary meristems develop.

Primary Meristems  Protoderm - Gives rise to epidermis.  Procambium - Produces primary xylem and primary phloem cells.  Ground Meristem - Produces tissues composed of parenchyma cells. - Pith - Cortex

Origin and Development of Stems Narrow band of cells between the primary xylem and primary phloem may become vascular cambium.  Cells produced by the vascular cambium become components of secondary xylem and secondary phloem. In many plants, a second cambium, cork cambium, arises.  Produces cork cells and phelloderm cells.

Tissue Patterns in Stems Steles  Stele is made up of primary xylem, primary phloem, and pith (if present). - Protostele - Solid core. - Sphinosteles - Tubular with pith in center. - Eusteles - Vascular bundles.

Tissue Patterns in Stems Dicotyledons - Flowering plants that develop from seeds having two seed leaves. Monocotyledons - Flowering plants that develop from seeds with a single seed leaf.

Herbaceous Dicotyledonous Stems In general, annuals are green, herbaceous plants.  Most monocots are annuals, but many dicots are also annuals. Herbaceous dicots have discrete vascular bundles composed of patches of xylem and phloem.  Procambium produces only primary xylem and phloem, but vascular cambium arises later and adds secondary phloem and xylem to the vascular bundles.

Woody Dicotyledonous Stems Vascular cambium of a typical broadleaf tree produces relatively large vessel elements of secondary xylem (spring wood).  Xylem produced next has smaller or fewer elements, and is referred to as summer wood.  One year’s growth of xylem is called an annual ring.

Woody Dicotyledonous Stems Vascular cambium produces more secondary xylem than phloem, thus bulk of a tree trunk consists of annual rings of wood.  Examining rings can determine the age of a tree, and provide some indications of climatic conditions. Vascular Rays consist of parenchyma cells that function in lateral conductions of nutrients and water.  Xylem Ray  Phloem Ray

Woody Dicotyledonous Stems Older, darker wood at the center is called heartwood, while the lighter, still-functioning xylem closest to the cambium is called sapwood.  Formed at roughly the same rate as heartwood. - Softwood - Xylem consists primarily of tracheids; no fibers of vessel elements.  Cone-bearing trees.

Woody Dicotyledonous Stems Bark - Refers to all the tissues outside the cambium, including the phloem.  Mature bark may consist of alternating layers of crushed phloem and cork.

Monocotyledonous Stems The stems of most monocots have neither a vascular cambium nor a cork cambium and thus produce no secondary vascular tissues or cork.  Xylem and phloem exist in discrete vascular bundles. - Secondary meristem produces only parenchyma cells to the outside and secondary vascular bundles to the inside.

Specialized Stems Rhizomes - Horizontal stems that grow below- ground. Runners - Horizontal stems that generally grow along surface. Stolons - Produced beneath the surface of the ground and tend to grow in different directions.

Specialized Stems Bulbs - Large buds surrounded by numerous fleshy leaves, with a small stem at the lower end. Corms - Resemble bulbs, but composed almost entirely of stem tissue. Cladophylls - Flattened, leaf-life stems. Thorns Tendrils

Wood and its Uses In a living tree, 50% of the wood weight comes from water content.  Dry weight is composed of 60-75% cellulose and 15-25% lignin. Density and Durability are two of the most important characteristics in commercial wood.

Wood and its Uses Sawing  Radially cut (quartersawed) boards show the annual rings in a side view.  Tangentially cut (plain-sawed) boards show annual rings as irregular bands of light and dark streaks.

Wood and its Uses Knots  Bases of lost branches covered by new annual rings produced by the cambium of the trunk.  Found in greater concentration in older parts of the log, towards the center.

Wood and its Uses Wood Products  About half of US and Canadian wood production is used as lumber, primarily for construction. - Veneer - Thin sheet of desirable wood glued to cheaper lumber.  Second most extensive use of wood is pulp.  In developing countries, approximately half of cut timber is used for fuel. - Less than 10% in US and Canada.
