True or False1) Shoots contain stems

and leaves.2) Shoots are the above

ground portion of the plant and are anatomically the same as roots.

Page 3: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

The Shoot• Shoot- the above ground portion of the

plant, consisting of stem and leaves.– Stem- the above ground axis of vascular

plants. – Leaf- the principle lateral appendage of

the stem. • Foliage leaf- photosynthetic organ.

• Node- the part of the stem where one or more leaves are attached.

• Internode- the region of the stem between two successive nodes.

• Bud- an embryonic shoot protected by young leaves.

Page 4: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

Primordium- a leaf or bud in its earliest stage of differentiation.

Page 5: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

Pith- the ground tissue occupying the center of a root or shoot.

Modified Stems• Tendrils- modified leaves that spirally coil and

aid in stem support. • Stolons- runners; stems that grow horizontally

on the soil surface, often giving rise to new plants at the nodes.

• Thorns- hard, woody, sharp-pointed modified stems, arise from the axils of leaves.

• Spines- hard, woody, sharp-pointed modified leaves or leaf-parts.

• Prickles- a small non-woody, sharp-pointed outgrowth of bark or the epidermis.

True or False. This is a tendril.

Page 9: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

True or False. This is also a tendril.

Given: the following is a hard, woody, sharp-pointed modified stem that arises from the axils of leaves.

True or False. This is a spine.

Underground Stems• Rhizome- a horizontal stem that grows at or below the

soil surface.• Tuber- an enlarged, short, fleshy underground stem,

forms at the tip of a rhizome. i.e. Potato.• Bulb- a shortened underground stem covered by

enlarged fleshy storage leaves. i.e. Onion and garlic.• Corm- a thickened underground stem with small papery

leaves. i.e. Gladiolus and Crocus.

Leaf Arrangement• Phyllotaxy- the arrangement of leaves on a stem.

– Basal- leaves are attached to an underground stem or rhizome.

– Opposite- 2 leaves attached at each node, borne on opposite sides of the stem.

– Alternate- 1 leaf attached at each node.– Whorled- 3 or more leaves at each node.

Leaf Morphology• Blade- lamina.• Petiole- stalklike portion.• Stipules- scalelike or leaflike

appendages at the base of leaves.• Simple vs. Compound Leaves

– Simple- blades undivided.– Compound- blades divided into

leaflets.• Pinnately compound- leaflets arising

from both sides of the axis.• Palmately compound- leaflets diverge

from the tip of the petiole.

Leaf Histology

• Mesophyll- the ground tissue of the leaf, specialized for photosynthesis.– Palisade parenchyma-

upper cells.– Spongy parenchyma-

lower cells.

Page 22: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

Hydrophyte- waterlily. Xerophyte- oleander.

Page 23: The Shoot: Primary Structure and Development

Eudicot- random stomata. Monocot- parallel stomata.

Leaf Abscission

• Abscission- the normal separation of the leaf from the stem.

• Structural and chemical (ethylene) changes result in the formation of an abscission zone:– Separation layer– Protective layer

• Magnesium ions, sugars, amino acids.
