Anatomical Study of Some Monocot Leaves

In the present investigation of leaves of Musa paradisiaca L., and Carica papaya L., we found a clear

pronouncement between them instead they are monocots. In leaves epidermis present both side upper and

below adaxial epidermis (upper) and abaxial epidermis (below). Only spongy mesophyll cell are present in

the leaves. A parenchymatous bundle sheath is present around the vascular bundle. These anatomical differences helps us to understand the structural adaptations of the monocot plant leaves with respect to diverse environmental conditions. We hope this study will be a key player for further investigations on these plants for medicinal and nutraceutical properties.
