Process of corolla formationA) flower arrangementMagnoliaceae = spiral arrangement → [semi-] → cyclic arrangement = Fabaceae 1: spiral arrangement: primitive unspecialized perianth
Ex. Magnoliaceae, Calycanthaceae, Himanthandraceae, Nymphaeceae 3: semi-cyclic arrangement B) modified stamens a) Se | P → St b) Se → P-St |

= (fibro)vascular bundle system = phloem (師部)+ xylem (木部, cell wall only) Vascular plants, having the conducting tissues, xylem and phloem, have come to dominate terrestrial habitats, so much so, in fact, that they are sometimes spoken of as “the land plants” a designation that quite overlooks may algae, fungi, liverworts and mosses that share this same habitat. Pteridophyta (ferns), seed plants
Ex. ferns: inner endodermis = stele, central cylinder Parenchyma (柔組織): tissue composed of living-walled cells, most often functioning in photosynthesis or storage Fig. Elements of the xylem |

Objectives: understanding the structures of vascular bandles, based on the comparisons between monocotyledons and dicotylenons Materials (often used for training): Cucurbita moschata var. Toonas (or Cucurbita maxima) = dicotyledonae, and Zea mays = monocotyledonae

seed plants → a few types Evolutionary relationshipamphipholic siphonostele (両篩管状中心柱) → dictyostele (網状中心柱)ectophloic siphonostele (多篩管状中心柱) → eustele (真生中心柱) A. protosteles (原生中心柱):are the simplest, and are often considered to be the most primitive, type of stele. Protosteles occur in Psitophyta and Microphyllophyta and in the juvenile stems of other groups (in many roots as well).
A0: concentric vascular bundle (包囲維管束): fossil records only
Ex. Psilotum sweet potato = root ↔ potato = (underground) stem A''. plectostele (背腹中心柱) Ex. Lycopodium 
e: endodermis, p: phloem, x: xylem |
B. ectophloic siphonostele (solenostele) (外部管状中心柱)
B'. amphipholic siphonostele (両節管状中心柱) C. dictyostele (網状中心柱)
In siphonostelic stems with short internodes, overlapping of the nodal leaf gaps results in disection of the stele. As seen in transection, the stele appears as discrete strands or bundles, each surrounded by endodermis and the phloem surrounding the xylem. A siphonostele thus disected is called a dicotyostele. This type of stele characterizes many ferns.
D. eustele (真正中心柱)
= collateral vascular bundleWhere the xylem and phloem occur in discrete collateral or bicollateral strands or bundles, the arrangement is called a eustele. A eustele occurs in the internodes of Equisetum and in many gymnosperms and flowering plants. Certain of the strands pass into the leaves as traces.
E. atactostele (不整中心柱)

| Root anatomy is virtually the same for monocots, dicots and gymnosperms. The vascular tissue occurs in the center, which is surrounded by two rings of cells, the pericycle and endodermis, then the cortex and epidermis. The cell walls of the endodermis that are perpendicular to the root surface (i.e.. the radial and anticlinal walls) are sealed by a suberized band (Casparian strip). Root hair is extensions of the epidermal cells. |
