complex plant tissues

BIOLOGY

complex plant tissues

Tracheids: Cells are dead, long with transverse ends, containing large vacuole. Cell walls are hard, strong. and lignified. Their main functions are to give mechanical strength and to supply water and dissolved minerals from root to the leaves.Complex tissue is composed of more than one kind of cells. They are two types, namely Xylem tissue and Phloem tissue.

Xylem tissue: Xylem tissue consists of four types of cells, namely: Tracheids, Vessels or Trachaea, Xylem fibre and Xylem Parenchyma. 

vessel
Vessel 
Vessels or Trachaea: Cells are broad and short, placed end to end to form a continuous hollow tube. Water and waterdissolved minerals are conducted from root to leaf by these cells.
  ￾Xylem fibre: These are sclerenchymatous cells. Their main function is to give mechanical strength to the plant.

Xylem parenchyma: These are parenchymatous . cells. Functions of these cells are storage and conduction of food materials.

Functions of xylem tissue: Their functions are to give mechanical strength to the plant body, conduction of water, minerals and food materials and storage of food. Phloem tissue: Phloem tissue consists of four types of cells, namely: sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres and phloem parenchyma.

phloem tissue
Phloem tissue 

Sieve tube: These are elongated hollow cells placed end-to-end forming a long tube. The partition walls between two adjacent sieve cells are perforated and known as sieve plate. In m4;iture sieve tube there is. no nucleus in the cell. Conduction of food, prepared in the leaves is its main function.

Companion cells: These are parenchymatous, narrow, elongated cells, and are closely associated with the sieve tube. They have dense cytoplasm and a large nucleus. Conduction with the sieve tube is done through the pores present on the walls of these cells. They help the sieve tubes in conduction of food materials.

Phloem fibre: These are Sclerenchymatous cells. They are also known as bast fibre. Its function is to give mechanical strength. ￾ Phloem parenchyma: These are parenchymatous cells. They help in storage and conduction of food materials. Function of Phloem tissue: There main function is to conduct food materials, prepared in the leaves, to different parts of the plant. ￾ They give mechanical strength to plant organ. ￾ In case of necessity they store food materials.

Importance of Complex tissues: In respect of physiological and economic aspects, complex tissues are of great importance. Physiological importance: Complex tissues perform the duty of conduction of raw food materials to leaves and prepared food materials to all the living cells. ￾ Beside preparation of food, water is necessary for various reactions. This water is conducted from root to stem through the complex tissue named xylem. ￾ Through xylem tissue dissolved minerals along with water also passes upwardly. ￾ Water used in transpiration also moves to leaf through xylem tissue.

Economic importance

The most important economic crop in Bangladesh is jute fiber. Jute fiber is the secondary phloem or bast fiber. ￾ The wood we use, in the construction of houses, in making furniture, boat or musical instruments or as fuel, is the secondary xylem

Secretory tissue:

Tissue 
Secretoy tissues are those tissues, which secrets various liquids, Resins, gums, rubber etc. are collected from secretory tissues. They are of two types: . Laticiferous tissues and Glandular tissues. Laticiferous tissue: Latex is a white, yellow or colourless liquid Carbohydrates, protein, gums, and fats etc. are mixed in Latex, Latex is found in various plants like;- Musa (KALA) Ficus (BOT), Hevea (RUBBER), Papiver (OPIUM), Calotropis (AKONDO), Alstonia (CHHATIM), Argement (SHIALKATA). Glandular tissue: Honey, Enzymes, Gums, Resins, Oils etc. are usually found in the glandular tissues.

Tissue System

When one or more kinds of tissues are united and together perform a similar function, then it is known as tissue system. They are classified into three types namely: i) Epidermal Tissue System, ii) Ground Tissue System and iii) Vascular Tissue System.

i) Epidermal Tissue System: - This tissue system makes the outer cover of plant organs like, roots stems, branches, leaves, fruits. etc. Typically it consists of a closely arranged single layer of parenchymatous cells. There may have unicellular or multicellular hairs. Functions: To give protection to the internal portion of the plant organ.

ii) Ground Tissue System : Theses are the main bulk of tissues of roots and stems. The ground tissue is differentiated into outer cortical region and inner medulla or pith region. In dicot stem the cortical region is ususlly subdivided into three zones namely:- (a) Hypodermis, (b) General, Cortex and (c) Endodermis, Medulla anHypodermis, (b) General,Cortex and (c) Endodermis,Medulla and Medullary Raysd Medullary Rays encircled by, the Pericycle form the central Pith.

Functions : Functions of this tissue system are to give mechanical stregth to the stem and to store food materials.

iii) Vascular Tissue System:- Vascular tissue system comprises of two complex tixssue, namely; Xylem and phloem, These tissues are embedded in the ground tissues. In dicotyledonous stems xylem and phloem lie side by side on the same radius and between them there is a kind of Meristamatic tissue named Cambium. Phloem tissue lies towards the periphery and xylem toward center of the stem. Arrangement of different tissue system of a dicot stem is shown In longitudinal (I.S.) and transverse section (T.S) [Gig: -4.8 & 4.9] transverse section of tissue dicot stem Function Conduction of water and dissolved food materials. Conduction of prepared food. Give mechanical strength to the stem, and Storage of food where necessary. tissue system
