Simple Permanent Tissue

Types of simple permanent tissue

1. Parenchyma

2. Collenchyma

3. Sclerenchyma

Storage tissue | responsible to create ground pith & tissue

Parenchyma

Tissue Helps in photosynthesis often have chloroplasts | flexibility in plants

Collenchyma

Tissue mainly helps in mechanical support to plant body in the form of plasticity | husk of coconut

Sclerenchyma

Tissue composed of two or more two types of cells and contributes to a general function

Complex permanent tissue

Types of complex tissue

1. Xylem

2. Phloem

Tissue accountable for the transmission of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and stems

Xylem

Tissue which helps in the translocation of food that is prepared by photosynthesis in the leaves to diverse parts of the plant

Phloem

Tissues specialised in having secretory functions , secreting diverse types of chemicals

Secretory tissues

Types of secretory tissue

1. Lactiferous tissues

2. Glandular tissue

Thin walled tubes like tissue that produce latex

Lactiferous tissues

Tissues that forms glandular structures which secrete or excrete chemical substances

Glandular tissue

Tissue made of active, dividing cells that drive growth

Meristematic tissue

Tissue located at the shoot tips and root tips, makes the plant grow taller and longer

Apical meristem

Tissue located between permanent tissues, at the leaf base and nodes, helps in fast regrowth and elongation

Intercalary meristem

Tissue located at the sides of stems and roots, makes the plant thicker

Lateral meristem

Branch of horticulture that deals with production, processing, and marketing of vegetables

Arboriculture

Discipline of horticulture concerned with the growing and marketing of flowers and ornamental plants

Floriculture

Art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests and woodlands

Silviculture

mode of reproduction in which an egg is developed into an embryo without being fertilised by sperm

Parenthogenesis | ex: rotifers, honeybees, lizards and birds

Term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use the energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules

Calvin cycle

Development of fruit without fertilisation

Parenthocarpy

Sexual reproduction without fertilisation

Apomixis

Fusion between the gametes

Gametogamy

the modification of taproot which become swollen and spherical at the upper end while the lower end is tapered like a thread

Napiform root | ex: turnip, sugar beet

Roots are swollen and are broad at the base , the apex part gradually tapers forming like a cone

Conical roots | ex: carrot

Modification of tap root for food storage

Fusiform root | ex: radish

Crop that can be grown in both Rabi and Kharif crop

Castor seeds

Specialised tissue for the conduction of water

Funaria

First terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissue | used for medicinal purposes and soil-binders

Pteridophytes | ex: horsetails and ferns

Plants that develops aerial roots that grow from stems and branches, rather than from radicle

Monstera
