- Title
HISTOANATOMICAL ASPECTS OF THE VEGETATIVE ORGANS OF PAPAVER RHOEAS L.
- Authors
Bercu, Rodica
- Abstract
The paper presents histoanatomical features of the root, the stem and leaf structure of Papaver rhoeas L. a species belonging to Papaveraceae family. Cross sections were performed by the usual methods used in vegetal histology; the samples were stained using alum-carmine and iodine green and analysed with a BIOROM —T bright field microscope, equipped with a TOPICA 6001A video camera. The study reveals that the root possesses a typical secondary structure due to the activity of the two secondary meristems. The stem exhibits a primary structure with assimilatory cortex and a stele composed of collateral vascular bundles arranged on one circle. The leaf presents a homogeneous hipostomatic mesophyll with few hairs and vascular bundles. This species is an herb used in the food industry and also in traditional medicine.
