You are not required to memorize the different types of tissues that comprise the plant stem. However, in the Transport of Water and Solutes in Plants module we will explore in detail the roles vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), epidermal guard cells, stomata, and trichomes play in transpiration, the uptake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen and water vapor. Trichomes—hair-like structures on the epidermal surface—also defend leaves against predation (see the Plant Sensory Systems and Reponses module).Except for the concepts described in the AP® Connection, information presented in this module, and the examples highlighted, does not align to the content and AP® Learning Objectives outlined in the AP® Curriculum Framework. Stems are a part of the shoot system of a plant. They may range in length from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters, and also vary in diameter, depending on the plant type. Stems are usually above ground, although the stems of some plants, such as the potato, also grow underground. Stems may be herbaceous (soft) or woody in nature. Their main function is to provide support to the plant, holding leaves, flowers and buds; in some cases, stems also store food for the plant. A stem may be unbranched, like that of a palm tree, or it may be highly branched, like that of a magnolia tree. The stem of the plant connects the roots to the leaves, helping to transport absorbed water and minerals to different parts of the plant. It also helps to transport the products of photosynthesis, namely sugars, from the leaves to the rest of the plant. -Plant stems, whether above or below ground, are characterized by the presence of nodes and internodes (). Nodes are points of attachment for leaves, aerial roots, and flowers. The stem region between two nodes is called an internode. The stalk that extends from the stem to the base of the leaf is the petiole. An axillary bud is usually found in the axil—the area between the base of a leaf and the stem—where it can give rise to a branch or a flower. The apex (tip) of the shoot contains the apical meristem within the apical bud. -
