Pinus longaeva |
|
Group of tissues that enter tissue composition of old dicot stem and is derived from vascular cambium. It consists of secondary xylem and phloem, replacing primary vascular tissues and forming wood |
Secondary vascular tissues |
|
It consists of phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm |
Periderm |
|
It is the cork |
Phellem |
|
It is the cork cambium |
Phellogen |
|
It is the secondary parenchyma |
Phelloderm |
|
The two distinct regions of woody stem |
Bark Wood |
|
The central region of secondary wood in old trees filled with tannin and other substances. It is physiologically inactive in most plants. It’s also dark in color because of the presence of tannins, oils, gums, and resins. It also functions as mechanical support |
Heartwood |
|
Complex organic substance present in plants that generally have astringent properties and can also be used in the leather industry |
Tannins |
|
Plant exudates reduced as a result of stress or injury into the plant |
resins and gums |
|
It is the outer region of secondary wood and is lighter in color. It’s physiologically active and is used to transport minerals and water from roots to leaves |
Sapwood |
|
Enumerate the Main Functions of stems |

Rooting |
|
Under vegetative propagation where freshly cut surfaces of two stems are bound together firmly so that two cambial layers are at least in partial contact |
Grafting |

Three Purposes of grafting |
Propagates heedless variety of plant Ensure more rapid fruiting To check or eliminate parasites |
|
The removal of a diseased, broken, or otherwise undesired branch |
Pruning |
