organs
Flowers (modified leaves) contain 4 organs: sepals, petals, stamens, pistil.
roots
DRIED FIGS: strangler fig usually does not girdle; may shade out host tree. Banyan=Ficus bengalensis.
Ceiba (Kapok, Silk Cotton) = national tree of Guatemala.
Notre Dame completed 1345.
Pneumatophores: Bald cypress knees.
stems
POTATO eyes arranged in a spiral.
leaf_morphology
JUGLANS NIGRA, GLEDITSIA TRIACANTHOS LEAVES; fruit.
leaves
NOPALITOS prickly pear.
Grapevine tendrils are modified stems; prickly pear; ice plant=Aizoaceae; kalanchoe.
dermal
SPRUCE NEEDLES: Cuticle = thickened skin surrounding nails; cutin=fatty acids, cutan=hydrocarbon.
plantcells_xylem
Water moves laterally thru pits in
secondary walls.
ground_tissue
Ground tissue internal to vascular tissue=pith; external=cortex.
plantcells_collenchyma
CELERY.
plantcells_parenchyma
important for photosynthesis; fleshy fruit.
plantcells_sclerenchyma
PEAR gritty texture; flax.
growth-root_tissues

- Axillary bud meristematic cells inibited by produced by apical meristem.
- Ground tissue internal to vascular tissue is pith, external is cortex.
- Stele: vascular cylinder, a solid core of xylem and phloem
- Fusiform initials of the vascular cambium form secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside.
- Ray initials of the vascular cambium give rise to the xylem and phloem rays.
- Arabidopsis is the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced
- Protoplast: cell contents exclusive of the cell wall.
- Leaf trichomes: outgrowths of the epidermis; aromatic leaves (mint) secrete oils protect from herbivores.
- Both xylem and sieve-tube cells (phloem) lack a nucleus
- Bark becomes scaly: cork cambium divides only parallel to surface
- Rays
bands of thin-walled parenchyma cells conduct nutrients and water; not lignified, disintegrate in dead wood, radial splits.
