Ts Of Monocot Stem (Product Code: SCL473/0152) is a microscope slide of a transverse section through a monocotyledonous stem, the stem type found in grasses and cereals, used to teach monocot stem anatomy. Its defining feature is the large number of vascular bundles scattered through the ground tissue instead of forming a ring, shown on clear borosilicate glass kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its biology teaching aids for plant anatomy.

Students begin at the edge of the section, where a thin epidermis is backed by a band of sclerenchymatous hypodermis, and move inwards through ground tissue that is not divided into a separate cortex and pith. Scattered across it are the vascular bundles, each wrapped in a sclerenchyma sheath; they are conjoint, collateral and closed because they lack cambium, which is why most monocot stems do not thicken with age. Bundles near the edge are usually smaller and more crowded than those towards the centre.
Viewing this slide right after a dicot stem section is the quickest way for students to master a comparison that appears in many exam questions. Keep it in its box, clean it with lens tissue and keep it off hot, sunny window sills; it sits well alongside other botany lab equipment for stem, root and leaf anatomy.

What features identify the Ts Of Monocot Stem section?
On the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide, look for numerous scattered vascular bundles, each with a sclerenchyma sheath and no cambium, a sclerenchymatous hypodermis, and ground tissue that is not separated into cortex and pith.
Why do monocot stems usually not thicken?
Their vascular bundles are closed, meaning they have no cambium, so the usual secondary growth does not take place. The Ts Of Monocot Stem slide lets students check this for themselves by comparing its bundles with those on a dicot stem section.
Is the plant species given for the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide?
No. Our listing for the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide does not name the species. If your syllabus refers to a particular plant, for example maize, please mention it through our contact page before you order.
