 Stomatal description:-
 
 As an aquatic plant with leaves that rest on the waters surface, the genus Nelumbo is characterised by its concentration of stomata on the upper epidermis of its leaves, unlike other plants which concentrate their stomata on the lower epidermis, underneath the leaf. The collection of water on the upper epidermis ,whether that be by rain, mist or nearby disturbance of water is very detrimental to the leafs ability to perform gas exchange through its stomata. Thus, Nelumbo’s ultrahydrophobicity allows the water droplets to accumulate together very quickly, and then roll off on the leaf very easily at the slightest disturbance of the leaf, a process which allows its stomata to function normally without restriction due to blockage by water droplets.

 Leaf surface:-
 
 The leaves of Nelumbo are highly water repellent and have given the name to what is called the lotus effect. Ultrahydrophobicity is conferred by the usually dense layer of papillae on the surface of the Nelumbo leaves, and the small robust, waxy tubules that protrude off each papillae.

T.s.of Bignonia Stem
 


 This activity is held in Shri Shivaji Science College Amravati on date 21 Nov 2018.


 Information about T.S.of Bignonia Stem:


 Bignonia TS Stem


 The cross section illustrated here, shows part of a Bignonia stem, which is undergoing secondary growth.
 
 The stem is markedly angular, and mechanical support tissues are found, particularly collenchyma, beneath these angles. The outer cortex is photosynthetic, with two to three layers of chlorenchymatous cells visible. The external phloem (EP) is capped by sclerenchymatous fibres (S).


 The secondary xylem has formed a continuous ring, and this contains some conspicuous large-diameter vessels (2X). The primary xylem (PX) contains some parenchymatic elements and internal phloem (IP) which forms part of inverted medullary vascular bundles in this species. The pith is parenchymatous.


 This stem is classified as being anomalous

 phloem tissue consists of conducting cells, generally called sieve element, parenchyma cells, including both specialized companion cells or albuminous cells and unspecialized cells and supportive cells, such as fibres and sclereids.
