Photographic Print : Maize root, light micrograph
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Maize root, light micrograph
Maize root. Light micrograph of a section through the root of a maize plant (Zea mays) showing a vascular cylinder (centre). The cylinder is comprised of a central cluster of parenchyma cells (blue), surrounded by fused vascular bundles (black/green/blue) and the endodermis (black/red ring). The largest vessels seen here (white) are metaxylem, part of the xylem tissue in the vascular bundles. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem (light blue), the other component of the bundles, transports carbohydrates and plant hormones. Magnification: x44 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a maize root, as captured under a light microscope. The image reveals a transverse section through the root of a Zea mays plant, highlighting its vascular cylinder at the center. Comprised of various components, this cylinder consists of a central cluster of parenchyma cells in striking blue coloration. Surrounding these cells are fused vascular bundles depicted in shades of black, green, and blue. The darker ring encircling the vascular cylinder represents the endodermis, which acts as a protective layer for the root. Notably, this micrograph also displays metaxylem vessels in white hue within the xylem tissue present in each bundle. These vessels play an essential role in transporting water and mineral nutrients from roots to other parts of the plant. Additionally, one can observe phloem tissues (light blue) alongside xylem within these bundles responsible for transporting carbohydrates and plant hormones throughout the maize plant's system. With meticulous staining techniques applied to enhance visibility under magnification up to 44 times when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph provides valuable insights into corn anatomy and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's intricacies on both cellular and botanical levels.
