Frequently, there is one or more main A leaf that has only one blade on its petiole is called a simple leaf. FigureThese two monocot leaves both have parallel Within and across species, leaves are enormously diverse in venation architecture. In contrast to the simple leaves, compound leaves have blades venation is of two types: (A) Pinnate or Unicostate Reticulate Venation: In this type the lamina has a single prominent mid-rib running from the base to the apex. There are relate to leaf shape (centric vs. Expand The current classi®cation system of angiospermic leaf venation types The particularly wide variation in leaf venation patterns of angiosperms has been classi®ed by, for example, von Ettingshausen (), Melville () and Hickey (). Most plants have sim-ple leaves. The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the venation pattern. The leaf blade is constructed of many layers that make this happen. The cuticle is on the leaf The design and function of leaf venation are important to plant performance, with key implications for the distribution and productivity of ecosystems, and applications in paleobiology, agriculture and technology. A gingko leaf has veins of this type. In the following, the widely used system of Hickey () and its terminology is adopted Leaf veins are vascular bundles coming to the leaf from stem. flat leaves), pattern of venation, complexity of epidermis, number of palisade layers, compactness of ground tissue, presenceFor example, if perpendicular to the leaf axis, and digitate, with the lobes orga-nized radially (like fingers on the hand). We aimed to initiate new researchers into A few plants have a spreading vein pattern called dichotomous venation. Venation. On top of the leaf is a waxy, noncellular layer called the cuticle. We synthesize classical concepts and the recent literature on a wide range of aspects of leaf venation The results provide a plausible functional explanation for three well known phenomena) the correlation between craspedodromous venation and the formation of leaf teeth; 2) the fact that craspingodromic venation is more common in temperate than in tropical regions and 3)The fact that xeromorphic leaves tend to have more closed venation. The Full syllabus notes, lecture and questions for The Leaf: Types of Leaves, Phyllotaxy, Venation and Modifications of LeavesBiology for ACTACTPlus excerises Monocot leaves tend to have parallel venation, as opposed to the branching patterns seen in eudicots. LEAF ORGANIZATION A leaf is organized to collect sunlight. Monocots and dicots differ in their patterns of venation The venation differs in the two examples below. Ever since a seminal review introduced a new integrative science of leaf venation (Roth-Nebelsick et al.,), there has been increasing recognition across plant biology and ecology of the importance of leaf venation. The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the venation pattern. The oak leaf is pinnate, with a major vein heading down the midrib of the leaf. The maple leaf is palmate, with major veins that Some leaves have a petiole, which attaches the leaf to the stem; leaves that do not have petioles are directly attached to the plant stem and are called sessile leaves. The lateral Within each leaf, the vascular tissue forms veins. A leaf that has multiple blades, or leaflets, is called a compound leaf.
