  Leaf
For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat and thin, to expose the chloroplast containing cells (chlorenchyma) to light over a broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues.
Leaves are normally colored green, which comes from the chlorophyll found in plastids in the chlorenchyma.
Most of the interior of the leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis is a parenchyma or chlorenchyma tissue called the mesophyll.

For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin, to expose the cells containing chloroplast (chlorenchyma tissue) to light over a broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues.
Most of the interior of the leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis is a parenchyma (ground tissue) or chlorenchyma tissue called the mesophyll (= middle leaf).
Leaves are normally green in color, which comes from chlorophyll found in plastids in the chlorenchyma cells.

 Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute, 1920 [electronic resource]
The chlorenchyma consists of large, roundish cells with somewhat thickened cell-walls and containing numerous chloroplasts.
The cells nearest the chlorenchyma are small, have thick walls; and are closely arranged, so that there are no intercellular air-spaces.
As we pass towards the centre of the stem the cells become larger and rounder, and their walls are thinner, and there are larger intercellular air-spaces.

 ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF OPUNTIA FICUS-INDICA
The accumulating organic acids are stored overnight in large vacuoles within cells of the chlorenchyma (the greenish chlorophyll-containing region), so the tissue becomes progressively more acidic during the course of the night.
When plants are acclimatized to high day/night air temperatures of 50°C/40°C, their chlorenchyma cells are not seriously injured by 1 hour at 60°C, and most cells survive 1 hour at 65°C (Nobel, 1988).
Thus the extent of cultivation of both species can increase because of the rising air temperatures that are predicted to accompany global climate change, and the increasing atmospheric CO levels will increase their biomass productivity.

Its most distinctive feature is the presence of chlorenchyma (and as- sociated stomata) in the vegetative stem, under the valleys, thus having a light green rather than ivory color.

 Parenchyma-chlorenchyma water movement during drought for the hemiepiphytic cactus Hylocereus undatus.
METHODS: In addition to determining cell dimensions, osmotic pressures and water potentials, a novel but simple procedure leading to an external water potential of zero was devised by which cells in thin sections were perfused with distilled water.
About 95 % of the water lost came from cells in the water-storage parenchyma, which decreased by 44 % in length and volume, whereas cells in the adjacent chlorenchyma decreased by only 6 %; the osmotic pressure concomitantly increased by only 10 % in the chlorenchyma but by 75 % in the water-storage parenchyma.
The ability to shift water from the parenchyma to the chlorenchyma allowed the latter tissue to maintain a positive net CO2 uptake rate during such a drought.

 Primary tissues of the stem
The collenchyma is associated with the stem ridges and the sclerenchyma fibers, which are still immature and therefore look much like the collenchyma, are associated with the phloem of each vascular bundle (see Fig.
The stems on these slides are near the end of primary growth and a vascular cambium has begun to differentiate in preparation for secondary growth (which is very limited in alfalfa).
Note that the cortex contains no chlorenchyma and that collenchyma is present all the way around the stem periphery, not just at the ridges as in alfalfa.

These types are combined in different ways in the organism to form characteristic organs.
Plants are composed of relatively undifferentiated tissue known as meristematic tissue; storage tissue, or parenchyma; vascular tissue; photosynthetic tissue, or chlorenchyma; and support tissue, or sclerenchyma and collenchyma.
A variety of techniques are used for histological studies, including tissue culture, use of various fixatives and stains, the use of a microtome for preparing thin sections, light microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
