Dicot Stem Cross Section

Dicot stem vs monocot stem.
Dicot stem cross section. Multicellular epidermal hairs may or may not be present 3. ø anatomically the primary structure in a dicot root is differentiated into the following tissue zones. Note that young herbaceous stems may have stomates for gas exchange though the leaf is the main site of gas exchange with many morestomates than the stem.
Secondary growth in stems. The other important regions of the dicot stem are cortex medullary rays pericycle and pith. Single layered epidermis with thick cuticle 2.
The vascular system in dicots comprises of the two distinct regions cortex and stele which are absent in the monocot stems. Ground tissue is differentiated into hypodermis cortex endodermis pericycle and pith. Cross section definition plant examples 4 46 2 29 next lesson.
The different tissues are arranged in concentric fashion 5. A cross section of a generalized herbaceous dicot stem appears on the left. Hypodermis is generally collenchymatous 4.
To study the structural details of the stem or root of a monocot or dicot plant it is essential to be familiarized with the sectioning and staining techniques used with plant materials. ø anatomy of a dicot root primary structure can be studied through a cross section cs. In dicot stem the epidermis is the outermost layer along with the multicellular epidermal stem hairs.
