Plant Anatomy
2
Definitions Anatomy Study of form and basic organization. Morphology Study of tissue organization. Physiology Study of normal organism function.
3
Life Cycle Juvenile Adult Reproductive Vegetative
4
Plant Structure Two main organ systems: shoot and root Shoot Above ground Leaves, buds, stems, flowers, fruits Root Below ground roots, tubers, rhizomes
5
Plant Cells Formed at meristems. Mitosis in meristem produces new cells. Two types of meristems. Apical – produces primary growth, ex. tip of root or shoot. Lateral – produces secondary growth, ex. cambium.
6
Apical Meristem
7
Lateral Meristem
8
Cells are grouped into tissues. Dermal Ground Vascular
9
Cell Types Epidermal Ground Vascular Zea mays L. leaf cross section
10
Dermal Tissue Covers outer surface of herbaceous plants. Composed of epidermal cells that secrete the waxy cuticle. Waxy cuticle protects against water loss.
11
Ground Tissue Bulk of the primary plant body. Composed of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
12
Parenchyma
13
pineapple
14
Collenchyma Celery
15
Schlerenchyma used to make rope
16
Vascular Tissue Transports food, water, hormone, and minerals. Composed of xylem, phloem, parenchyma, and cambium.
17
Vascular tissue
18
Xylem Dutchmens pipe Dicot stem
19
Vegetative Structures Roots Stem Leaf
20
Roots Tap root Fibrous root Adventitious root Tuberous root Aerial root
21
Roots Taproot Taproots Tuberous Fiberous
22
Stem Anatomy Bud – undeveloped shoot. Node – Location of leaf or bud on stem. Internode – Space between nodes. Pith – Spongy tissue in the center of the stem. Lenticel – Pore in the outer layer of the stem.
23
Stem
24
Stem Modifications Tuber – underground stem with nodes Rhizome – underground stem with buds Stolon – aboveground stem with shoot buds Bulb – underground stem with fleshy leaves Corm – underground stem with papery leaves
25
Modified Stem Thorn Tendril Onion setRhizome
26
Modified Stem II AsparagusStolon
27
Growth Form Herb Shrub Tree Vine
28
Growth Cycle Annual – single season Biennial – two seasons Perennial – multiple seasons Evergreen – leaves persist > 2 seasons Deciduous – leaves die in cold or dry
29
Leaf Parts Petiole Blade Stipule Axillary bud
30
Leaf Structure Blade Petiole Axillary Bud Stipule
31
Leaf Arrangement Alternate Opposite Whorled
32
Leaf form Simple Compound Pinnate Palmate
33
Vein Arrangement Pinnate Palmate Parallel Dichotomous
34
Leaf Shape Ovate Elliptic Oblong Lanceolate Linear Orbicular Cordate Hastate Sagittate Peltate Perfoliate Terete
35
Leaf Margins Entire Serrate Doubly serrate Dentate Crenate Undulate Revolute Crisped Lobed
36
Misc. Vegetative Structures Thorns modified stems (Honey Locust) Spines modified leaves (Cactus) Prickles epidermal outgrowth (Rose)
37
Reproductive Structures Flowers Fruits
38
Floral Parts Pedicel Sepal Petal Perianth Stamen Carpel Pistil
39
Flower
40
Floral Symmetry Actinomorphic (regular) Many axes of symmetry, i.e.. the same wherever you cut it. Zygomorphic One axis of symmetry, i.e.. can only cut one way.
41
Inflorescence Types SolitarySpike Spadix Spikelet Raceme Umbel Whorl Compound Umbel Panicle
42
Fruit Types Dry, indehiscent fruit Dry, dehiscent fruit Fleshy fruit Other
43
Dry, indehiscent fruits Achene (lettuce) Samara (maple) Caryposis (wheat) Nut (almond)
44
Dry, Dehiscent Fruit Legume (soybean) Capsule (tobacco) Silique (Arabidopsis) Schizocarp (maple)
45
Fleshy Fruits Drupe (peach, nectarine) Berry (tomato) Pepo (cucumber) Hesperidium (citrus) Hip (rose) Pome (apple, pear)
46
Other Fruit Types Aggregate mature ovaries from separate pistils of one flower (ex. raspberry) Multiple mature ovaries from separate pistils of several flowers (ex. pineapple) Accessory fruit is something other than ovary tissue (ex. strawberry is a swollen receptacle, seeds are achenes)
47
Placentation Marginal Axile Parietal Free central Apical Basal
48
Ovary Position Hypogynous (above calyx) Perigynous (within the floral cup) Epigynous (below calyx)
49
Monocots vs. Dicots One cotyledon Parallel leaf veins Flower parts often in multiples of three Vascular bundles scattered in stem Two cotyledons Netlike leaf veins Flower parts often in multiples of 4 or 5 Vascular bundles in a ring in the stem
50
Other Anatomy Terms Cell sketch Roots Leaf section
