  2. Aerenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerenchyma

    Aerenchyma in stem cross section of a typical wetland plant. Aerenchyma or aeriferous parenchyma [1] or lacunae, is a modification of the parenchyma to form a spongy tissue that creates spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. [2]

  3. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Sclerenchyma is the tissue which makes the plant hard and stiff. Sclerenchyma is the supporting tissue in plants. Two types of sclerenchyma cells exist: fibers cellular and sclereids. Their cell walls consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Sclerenchyma cells are the principal supporting cells in plant tissues that have ceased elongation.

  4. Aerial root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_root

    The surface of these roots is covered with porous lenticels, which lead to air-filled spongy tissue called aerenchyma. This tissue facilitates the diffusion of gases throughout the plant, as oxygen diffusion coefficient in air is four orders of magnitude greater than in water. [2] Pneumatophores of mangrove plant

  5. Coquillettidia perturbans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coquillettidia_perturbans

    The larvae and pupae are adapted with an abdominal segment capable of piercing the inner gaseous tissue of the aquatic plant life, or aerenchyma, located within this environment, such as cattails (Typha latifolia) and Juncus sp. [1] [3] [4] This piercing allows access to the root epidermal cell layer of the plant, or the aerenchyma, in order to ...

  6. Limnobium laevigatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnobium_laevigatum

    Limnobium laevigatum is a floating aquatic plant, which can be mistaken for water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) due to their superficial similarity.Juvenile plants grow in rosettes of floating leaves that lie prostrate upon the water surface, a distinguishing character of the juvenile plant is the presence of spongy aerenchyma tissue upon the abaxial surface (underside) of the leaf.

  7. Sclereid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclereid

    They can be grouped into bundles, can form complete tubes located at the periphery, or can occur as single cells or small groups of cells within parenchyma tissues. An isolated sclereid cell is known as an idioblast. Sclereids are typically found in the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. [2]

  8. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate. This is a spongy tissue also known as a mesenchymal tissue , in which several types of cells are lodged in their extracellular matrices .

  9. Equisetidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equisetidae

    The horsetails comprise photosynthesising, "segmented", hollow stems, sometimes filled with pith. At the junction ("node", see diagram) between each segment is a whorl of leaves.
