3.2J Non-sterile excised root segments of<br />

the dicotyledon AnlJQracia fllsticalla (horse<br />

radish) cultured for several weeks ill vitro.<br />

Note the numerous leafy adventitious buds<br />

which arise from the cork cambium of the<br />

roO[; adventitious roots also arise from this<br />

tls.'me.<br />

3.23 TS of the petiole of the dicotyledon Sanicula<br />

europea (sanicle) showing the peripheral lOcation of<br />

coUalchyma (I). This living tissue has thickened cellulosic<br />

walls and its location helps 10 suppOtt the young leaf.<br />

Parenchyma (2), primary phloem (3), primary x}·lem (4).<br />

3.24 TS of the stem of Coleus (a dicotyledon) showing<br />

detail of the collenchyma. This peripheral tissue (cf., 3.13)<br />

is of the angular form with additional cellulose thickening<br />

deposited al the angles of these cells (d., 3.78). (L:\it x<br />

3.22 TS ofaxeromorphic leaf of of the conifer Pinus (pine) showing the<br />

epidermis and mesophyll. The thin mcsophyll 'ell walls possess numerous<br />

vertical ingrowths (1), but the protoplasts of these cells have become plasnlOlysed<br />

so that a gap separates them from the walls. Note the resin duct<br />

(2) in the mesophyll and also the guard cells (3) which are sunken beneath<br />

the subsidiary cells (4) in the epidermis. (LM:II; 110.)<br />
