Cortical development in roots of the aquatic plant Pontederia cordata (Pontederiaceae)

Abstract: Adventitious roots of marsh-grown Pontederia cordata were examined to determine cortical development and structure. The innermost layer of the ground meristem forms the endodermis and aerenchymatous cortex. The outermost layer of the early ground meristem undergoes a precise pattern of oblique and periclinal cell divisions to produce a single or double layer of prohypodermis with an anchor cell for each radial file of aerenchyma cells. At maturity, endodermal cell walls are modified only by narrow Casparian ba… Show more

“…Esta camada foi citada por Williams (1947), Riopel & Steeves (1964) em Musa acuminata, Seago & Marsh (1989) em Typha glauca, Seago et al (1999) em Hydrocharis morus-ranae e Seago et al (2000) em Pontederia cordata. Para Williams (1947) esta camada atua como um câmbio, que através de divisões periclinais origina todos os tecidos desde a endoderme até a hipoderme em arranjo radial.…”

“…In most of the aquatic macrophytes studied here, the inner cortex of the roots is derivatives from the meristematic endodermis (Lima and Menezes, 2008;Menezes et al, 2005) and is constituted by various layers of cells with a thickened wall which agree with Williams (1947) and Van Fleet (1961) instead of Sculthorpe (1967), Mauseth (1988) and Seago et al (2000) who cited that roots and rizomes of aquatic macrophytes living in places subjected to water stress present a strengthened endodermis, usually with more than one cell layer, which was also observed in the species of Cyperaceae from temporary lakes by Leite et al (2009).…”

“…Tais resultados diferem do observado por Seago et al (2000) que, ao descreverem o desenvolvimento cortical das raízes adventícias de Pontederia cordata, relataram que todos os tecidos corticais nessas raízes são originados do meristema fundamental.…”
