Plant - Vascular, Photosynthesis, Reproduction: Vascular plants (tracheophytes) possess supporting and water-conducting tissue called xylem and food-conducting tissue called phloem; they also have true stems, leaves, and roots. Lycophytes (class Lycopodiopsida) are nonseed plants represented by three living orders, the principal genera being club mosses, spike mosses, and quillworts.
Vascular Tissue. Vascular tissue is the most affected by glucose toxicity, leading to the classical symptoms of neuropathy on the microvascular scale, or cardiovascular complications on the macrovascular scale [3]. From: Regenerative Nephrology (Second Edition), 2022
Vascular tissue is an example of a complex tissue, and is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and includes three different cell types: vessel elements and tracheids (both of which conduct water), and xylem parenchyma.
Phloem is the second type of vascular tissue; it transports sugars, proteins, and other solutes throughout the plant. Phloem cells are divided into sieve elements (conducting cells) and cells that support the sieve elements. Together, xylem and phloem tissues form the vascular system of plants (Figure 25.16).
Summary. The three types of plant cells are found in each of the major types of plant tissues: dermal, ground, and vascular tissues. Dermal tissue covers the outside of a plant in a single layer of cells called the epidermis. It mediates most of the interactions between a plant and its environment. Ground tissue makes up most of the interior of ...
Ground tissue is mostly made up of parenchyma cells, but may also contain collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells that help support the stem. The ground tissue towards the interior of the vascular tissue in a stem or root is known as pith, while the layer of tissue between the vascular tissue and the epidermis is known as the cortex.
