LECTURER: ASSOC. PROF. DR. UMI KALSOM YUSUF
- Introduction to internal structure (anatomy) of the plant tissue and system
- Cell, Tissue and Organ
2.1 Tissue organization
2.2
Simple tissue
Parenchyma tissue
Collenchyma tissue
Sclerenchyma tissue
2.3
Complex tissue
Xylem
Phloem
Dermal tissue (epidermis and periderm)
- Meristem
3.1 Primary meristem (Protoderm, ground meristem, procambium)
3.2
Peripheral meristem (cork cambium and vascular cambium)
- Flower and Inflorecence
4.1 Flowering plants undergo alternation of generations
A flower is a sporophyte structure
4.2 The embryo develops in stages
4.3 The seeds are enclosed by fruits
Fruits are varied
How seeds disperse and germinate
- Leaf
5.1 How leaves are organized (epidermis, hypodermis, mesophyll, vascular bundle)
5.2 How leaves differ (simple/compound, adaptation, monocot, dicot, gymnosperms)
5.2.1 Stoma (types of stoma, ontogeny etc.)
5.2.2 Trichome (types and function)
5.3 Grass Leaves (C3 and C4)
5.4 Development of the leaf
- The Stem: Primary Structure and Development (how stems are organized)
6.1 Origin and growth of the Primary Tissues of the Stem
6.2
Tissues and Primary structure of the Stem
6.3
How stems differ (types of stem; monocot, dicot, gymnosperm)
6.4 Secondary Growth in Stems
The Vascular Cambium and Cork Cambium
Effect of Secondary Growth on the Primary Body of the Stem
(a) The Periderm
(b) The Lenticels
(c) The Bark, growth ring, etc.
- The Root: Structure and Development (how roots are organized)
7.1: Root system
7.2: Origin and Growth of Primary Tissues
7.3: Growth Region of the Root
7.4: Primary Structure
(a) Epidermis
(b) Cortex
(c) Vascular cylinder
7.5: How roots differ
7.6: Effect of secondary growth on the primary body of the Root
7.7: How do Roots absorb water and Mineral Ions?
Specialized absorptive structures
(a) Root hairs
(b) Root nodules
(c) Mycorrhizae
