The hypodermis in the dicot stem is made up of the.

Dicot stem section. Transverse section took through the internode of the stem. ø the anatomy of dicot stem is studied by a t s. The outer walls are convex thickened and cutinised.

It is two to three cells thick sclerenchymatous and present just below the epidermis. To study the structural details of the stem or root of a monocot or dicot plant it is essential to be familiarized with the sectioning and staining techniques used with plant materials. The cells are transparent and devoid of chloroplasts.

It contains thickenings by the deposition. Epidermis is the outermost layer of the stem. The cells are living barrel shaped and compactly arranged without intercellular spaces and chloroplasts.

In dicot stem bundle sheath is absent while in monocot stem the bundle sheath is present as it surrounds the scattered. Transverse section t s of dicot stem sunflower 1. It is not differentiated into cortex.

In monocots stem the vascular bundles are scattered across the stem without any definite arrangement. ø anatomically the dicot stem has the following regions. ø the components of cortex and stele are together known as ground tissue.

Hypodermis consists of 3 5 layers of collenchyma without spaces. It is made up of compactly arranged elongated parenchymatous cells which look rectangular barrel shaped in a trans verse section.
