Vascular Systems in plants – an introduction to plant anatomy Cells & Tissues. Organization into structural entities.

primitive vascular plants Lycopodium claviatum
primitive vascular plants PROTOXYLEM PHLOEM Detail of a cross section of the stem of Psilotum has no leaves or roots!
primitive vascular plants XYLEM PHLOEM TRABECULA Trabeculae are modified endodermal cells – pericycle surround vascular bundle.

Zea mays Monocotyledon. (Atactostele) highly advanced
Nymphoides stem Hydrophytes have a reduced xylem component in the vascular system. Here, only a few XYLEM VESSELS are visible. The phloem on the other hand appears to be welldeveloped, and consists of sieve tubes companion cells and phloem parenchyma. I Several ASTROSCLERIEDS can be seen interspersed with the ground parenchyma
Ligustrum (Privet) Leaf Advanced foliage leaf, dicotyledon. Note mesophyll divided into upper palisade and lower spongy layer. Smaller veins (like these) are embedded within the mesophyll, between palisade and spongy layers. These are MINOR veins
Zea mays leaf
The pine leaf sunken stomate endodermis m biu m ca endodermis In Gymnosperm leaves such as the pine leaf, the vascular system is reduced to the central region. You should be able to see two vascular bundles in this example. The xylem is composed of TRACHEIDS and the phloem of SIEVE CELLS and ALBUMINOUS CELLS. vascular bundle
