Stem vascular arrangement. Light micrograph of sections of monocot and dicot stems. Vascular tissue occurs in long strands called vascular bundles. These bundles are arranged within the stem of dicots to form a cylinder (bottom image), appearing as a ring of spots when you cut across the stem. In monocots, these bundles appear scattered through the stem, with more of the bundles located toward the stem periphery than in the center. This arrangement is unique to monocots and some of their closest relatives among the dicots. Magnification: x40 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. | |
