18 kwi 2013 · Veins are composed of xylem and phloem cells embedded in parenchyma, sometimes sclerenchyma, and surrounded by bundle sheath cells. The vein xylem transports water from the petiole throughout the lamina mesophyll, and the phloem transports sugars out of the leaf to the rest of the plant.
31 paź 2023 · Petioles, stipules, veins, and a midrib are all essential structures of a leaf. Within each leaf, the vascular tissue forms veins. The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the venation pattern .
The midrib contains the main vein (primary vein) of the leaf as well as supportive ground tissue (collenchyma or sclerenchyma). Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): A typical eudicot leaf. Many leaves consist of a stalk-like petiole and a wide, flat blade (lamina).
22 gru 2008 · Summary. The leaf vasculature plays crucial roles in transport and mechanical support. Understanding how vein patterns develop and what underlies pattern variation between species has many implications from both physiological and evolutionary perspectives.
2 lut 2023 · A typical leaf shows three main parts: 1) petiole, 2) leaf base, and 3) leaf blade or lamina, each performing specific functions. Parts of a Leaf Diagram. 1. Petiole. It is the stalk that connects a leaf to the stem of the plant, it is made of complex conducting tissues called vascular tissues. Functions.
Most leaves have a midrib, which travels the length of the leaf and branches to each side to produce veins of vascular tissue. The edge of the leaf is called the margin. Figure 30.21 shows the structure of a typical eudicot leaf.
