Comparative Study on the Anatomy of Some Diseased and Healthy Plants:- Okeke Chiemelie C
ABSTRACT
Anatomical
sections of matured plant parts (leaves and stems) from healthy and jdiseased
potato, cassava, pumpkin and okro were studied. This study was carried [out to
compare the anatomy of the healthy and diseased plants. Anatomical isections of
the stems, leaves and epidermis were done using free-hand sections. (Results
show considerable difference between the anatomy of the healthy and ~diseased plant
parts. The following anatomical characteristics of the diseased [plants were
observed: i) abnormal darkening of contents of parenchyma cells, ii) I ,,
hypertrophy and hyperplasia, iii) granulation of cell contents, iv) death of
cells, v) 1 cracking and sloughing of necrotic tissue, vi)more sinuosity, vii)
thick walled cells i of cortex viii) less stomata. All these reactions occurred
in the cortical tissues of j the diseased leaves and stems. Some hypertrophy
and necrosis were observed in i the phloem.
