Cards

Term
Oil Cell
Definition
Contain oils and occur in vascular or ground tissues.
Term
Hydathode
Definition
Are modified parts of leaves at the leaf margins/tip that function to discharge excess water to the leaf surface via guttation.
Term
Internal Secretory Structure
Definition
Include secretory cells, secretory cavities and canals, and laticifers.
The major types of secretory cells are Oil cells, Resiniferous cells, and Mucilage cells.
Term
Schizogenous Secretory Cavity
Definition
The formation of a space by the separation of cells.
Term
Laticifer
Definition
Cells or series of connected cells containing latex. Are 2 types of laticifers simple and compound. Occur most dominantly in phloem tissue.
Term
Colleter
Definition
Glands that have more complex structures than simple glands. Consist of many secretory cells and protect dormant buds. Develop on the leaf primordia.
Term
Epithelial Cell
Definition
One typ of cell differentiated by a single epidermal cell. Epithelial cells separate from one another and secrete oil into the inter-cellular space.
Term
Nectary
Definition
2 types: Floral Nectaries - Occur on floral parts.
Extrafloral Nectaries - Occur on vegetable parts.
Appear as parts of secreting epidermis, and are differentiated into specialized structures. Have a secretory tissue that is covered with a cuticle. Secretes sugars.
Term
Glandular Hair
Definition
Also known as simple glands, are composed of one or very few cells. May have a multicellular head with a cuticle layer, have few glandular cells, and can have a unicellular glandular head.
Term
Pearl Gland
Definition
Large secretory cells covered by epidermal cells. They secrete to the outside through open stomata. Common in leaves and young stems.
Term
Lysigenous Secretory Cavity
Definition
The formation of a space by the destruction of cells. This is often achieved by enzymatic dissolution.
Term
Epithem
Definition
The modified mesophyll of a hydathode. Are usually composed of chlorophyll-free parenchyma and are commonly transfer cells.
Term
External Secretory Structure
Definition
Occur partly or completely on the surface of a plant. Function in secretion.
Term
Procambium
Definition
Forms in the region of the future vascular tissue. Has predominantly longitudinal divisions and has elongated and narrow cells.
Lies just inside of the protoderm and develops into primary xylem and primary phloem. It also produces the vascular cambium, a secondary meristem.
Term
Protoderm
Definition
Is the precursor of the epidermis, and constitues the outermost layer. Has anticlinal divisions and forms the epidermis.
Term
Ground Meristem
Definition
Occupies the regions of the future pith and cortex (central region). Has both transverse and longitudinal divisions. Contains less elongated, wider and more vacuolated cells. Differentiates into the cortex and pith.
Term
Primary Meristem
Definition
Consists of initials and their immediate derivatives. Has 3 segments protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium. Becomes progressivelyy differentiated as it is farther from the apical meristem.
Term
Vascular Bundles
Definition
Occur in more than one ring in some species. Can be found scattered throught the vascular tissue.
Term
Amphivasal Bundle
Definition
The xylem surrounds the phloem. Occurs in certain positions in the stems of some dicots and monocots.
Term
Amphicribral Bundle
Definition
The phloem surrounds the xylem. Most common in ferns and angiosperms.
Term
Primary Elongation Growth
Definition
Occurs chiefly in the internodes. As the internodes grow they elongate the stem. The nodes are very close to each other near the stem tip.
Term
Primary Thickening Growth
Definition
Occurs in the pith and/or cortex via periclinal divisions and cell enlargement. The extent of the growth varies with different plants.
Term
Collateral Bundle
Definition
The prevalent arrangement in which phloem occurs to the outside of the xylem.
Term
Bicollateral Bundle
Definition
The phloem occurs to both the outer and inner sides of the xylem.
Term
Fusiform initial
Definition
A form of cambial initial that is spindle shaped. They form the axial system of secondary vascular tissue. Divide periclinally.
Term
Vascular Cambium
Definition
The continuous sheath between the xylem and phloem containing 2 forms of cambial initials: fusiform and ray initials.
Term
Storied Cambium
Definition
A fusiform initial arrangement in which they form horizontal tiers. The fusiform initials themselves are shorter and less overlapping. Common in tropical species. More evolutionarily advanced than nonstoried cambia.
Term
Additive division
Definition
Cambial initials may produce cells towards the phloem and the xylem alternately.
Term
Nonstoried Cambium
Definition
Have overlapping ends of fusiform initials and have much longer fusiform initials than storied cambium.
Term
Uniseriate ray
Definition
In secondary vascular tissues, a ray that is one cell wide.
Term
Pseudotransverse division
Definition
A type of multiplicative division in species with nonstoried cambia. Daughter cells elongate by apical intrusive growth leading to the increase in cambium circumference.
Term
Ray initial
Definition
Form the radial system of stems and roots. They are slightly elongated to nearly isodiametric. May produce storied or nonstoried rays.
Term
Multiplicative division
Definition
Contribute to the circumference increase of the cambium. Multiple daughter cells are created simultaneously by the devision of the mother cell.
Term
Interfascicular cambium
Definition
Located between the vascular bundles. Forms new cells to both the inside and the outside.
Term
Woody Stem
Definition
Has a continuous vascular cambium with both fascicular and narrow interfascicular regions. Produces a continuous cylinder of secondary xylem and phloem.
Term
Dilated phloem ray
Definition
Phloem tissue that divides to fill the gaps caused by secondary phloem growth, prior to when it becomes fully mature.
Term
Fascicular cambium
Definition
Located with the vascular bundles. Divides and produces the secondary xylem and secondary phloem tissue.
Term
Secondary stem growth
Definition
Brings many changes to tissues outside and inside the cambium.
Inside- Tracheary elements become dysfunctional, protoxylem may become completely crushed, the pith becomes deformed.
Outside- The primary phloem becomes non-functional, protophloem are crushed.
Term
Included Phloem
Definition
Phloem tissue that lies between regions of secondary xylem.
Term
Herbaceous Stem
Definition
Plant structures that have been modified to serve the same function as leaves.
Term
Anomalous Secondary Growth
Definition
Produce vascular cambia to the outside of the plant as the internal vascular bundles become less active. Sometimes produce vascular bundles and parenchyma cells internally and only parenchyma to the outside.
Term
Diffuse Secondary Growth
Definition
Some monocots increase their trunk diameter due to division and enlargement of parenchyma cells
Term
Successive Cambia
Definition
Secondary Growth occurs from several vascular cambium. Very rare, but can be found in some woody species.
