Bulliform cells in monocot leaves help in rolling the leaves during water stress to minimize water loss.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dorsiventral and Isobilateral Leaf
Bulliform cells in monocot leaves help in minimizing water loss by curling the leaves under drought conditions.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dorsiventral and Isobilateral Leaf
In monocot leaves, mesophyll is not differentiated into palisade and spongy parenchyma, unlike dicot leaves.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dorsiventral and Isobilateral Leaf
Bulliform cells help in minimizing water loss by causing the leaf to curl inward under water stress conditions.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Anatomy of Dorsiventral and Isobilateral Leaf
Isobilateral leaves (e.g., monocots) have stomata on both surfaces, whereas dorsiventral leaves (e.g., dicots) have stomata mostly on the lower surface.
