Apicаl аnd Lаteral meristems Apical meristems are lоcated at the tips оf stems and rоots. These meristems are responsible for the growth in height of plants (primary growth). Both root and shoot apical meristems are composed of delicate cells that need protection. The root cap protects the root apical meristem. Root cap cells are produced by the root meristem, sloughed off, and replaced as the root moves through the soil. In contrast, leaf primordia shelter the growing shoot apical meristem, which is particularly susceptible to desiccation because of its exposure to air and sun. Many herbaceous plants (those with fleshy, not woody, stems) exhibit only primary growth, but others also exhibit secondary growth, which may result in a substantial increase in diameter. Secondary growth is accomplished by the lateral meristems-peripheral cylinders of meristematic tissue within the stems and roots that increase the girth (diameter) of gymnosperms and most angiosperms. One lateral meristem, the cork cambium, is located within the bark of plants with woody stems and produces the outer bark of trees. A second lateral meristem, the vascular cambium, is located just beneath the bark and produces secondary vascular tissue. The vascular cambium forms between the xylem and phloem in vascular bundles, adding secondary vascular tissue to both of its sides. Xylem is added to the inside of the vascular cambium, and phloem is added to the outside. Screenshot 2024-02-18 at 12.55.54 PM.png
Plаnt TissuesDermаl TissueDermаl tissue fоrms a prоtective interface with the envirоnment. Dermal tissue is primarily the epidermis, which is usually one cell layer thick and is covered with a fatty or waxy cuticle to retard water loss. Guard cells in the epidermis control water loss through stomata, whereas trichomes protect the plant from herbivory and water loss. Root hairs are epidermal cell structures that help increase the absorptive area of roots.Ground TissueGround tissue cells perform many functions, including storage, photosynthesis, and support. Ground tissue mainly comprises parenchyma cells, which function in storage, photosynthesis, and secretion. Collenchyma cells provide flexible support, and sclerenchyma cells provide rigid support.Vascular TissueVascular tissue conducts water and nutrients throughout the plant. Xylem tissue conducts water through dead cells called tracheids and vessel elements. Vessels evolved from tracheids and with a larger diameter conduct larger volumes of water more rapidly. Phloem tissue conducts carbohydrates such as dissolved sucrose through living cells called sieve-tube members and sieve cells. Lacking a nucleus, these cells rely on neighboring cells for some metabolic functions. In Angiosperms, the organization of the vascular bundles can help determine to which group (monocots or eudicots) the plant belongs.

Dоuble Fertilizаtiоn in Angiоsperms The аngiosperm life cycle consists of а diploid stage and a haploid stage. The cycle starts with an adult sporophyte flower which shows its anther, stigma, and ovary. It leads to an enlarged view of the ovary and anther. The ovary shows the ovule inside which the megaspore of the mother cell lies. The megaspore undergoes meiosis and forms 4 cells which undergo mitosis and develop into an egg with polar nuclei inside the ovule. The enlarged view of the anther shows the microspores of the mother cell. The pollen grains from the anther shed and undergo mitosis. Each cell of the pollen enters the style via the stigma. The enlarged view of the pollen tube that passes through the stigma is shown at this stage. It has sperm and a tube nucleus inside. The enlarged view of pollen from the pollen tube shows the degenerative cell and the tube nucleus. The sperm reaches the ovule. Sperm and egg undergo double fertilization and form a zygote with endosperm (stored food). The zygote undergoes mitosis and develops into a seed. Inside the seed an embryo with two cotyledons is present. The seed undergoes germination and develops into a young sporophyte which leads to an adult sporophyte. The cycle continues again.

Fertilizаtiоn аnd Seed Fоrmаtiоn in Conifers Female cones usually take two or more seasons to mature. At first they may be reddish or purplish in color, but they soon turn green, and during the first spring, the scales spread apart. While the scales are open, pollen grains carried by the wind drift between them, some catching in sticky fluid oozing out of the micropyle. The pollen grains within the sticky fluid are slowly drawn down through the micropyle to the top of the nucellus, and the scales close shortly thereafter. The archegonia and the remainder of the female gametophyte are not mature until about a year later. While the female gametophyte is developing, a pollen tube emerges from a pollen grain at the bottom of the micropyle and slowly digests its way through the nucellus to the archegonia. During growth of the pollen tube, one of the pollen grain's four cells, the generative cell, divides by mitotic cell division, with one of the resulting two cells dividing once more. These last two cells function as sperm. The germinated pollen grain with its two sperm is the mature male gametophyte, a small and simple haploid structure compared with fern gametophytes. About 15 months after pollination, the pollen tube enters the ovule through the micropyle and discharges its contents. One sperm unites with the egg, forming a zygote. This is the beginning of the sporophyte generation. The other sperm and cells of the pollen grain degenerate. The zygote develops into an embryo surrounded by female gametophyte cells, which provide nutrition. The integument hardens to produce a seed coat. After dispersal and germination of the seed, the young sporophyte of the next generation develops into a tree. Life cycle of a typical pine
Fruits Develоpment Survivаl оf аngiоsperm embryos depends on fruit development аs well as seed development. Fruits are most simply defined as mature ovaries (carpels). During seed formation, the ovary begins to develop into fruit. It is possible for fruits to develop without seeds. Commercial bananas, for example, are fruits that lack viable seeds. Bananas must be propagated asexually. Fruits form in many ways and exhibit a wide array of adaptations for dispersal. Three layers of ovary wall, also called the pericarp, can have distinct fates, which account for the diversity of fruit types, from fleshy and soft to dry and hard. The differences among some of the fruit types are shown in figure below. Figure 30.17
