Description
Sugar cane stem. Light micrograph of a section through a sugar cane stem (Saccharum officinareum). Vascular bundles (round blue/purple structures) can be seen containing xylem (larger openings, white) and phloem (smaller openings, purple) tissues. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant. Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
