  Ground tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Collenchyma tissue is composed of elongated cells with unevenly thickened walls.
Collenchyma tissue composes, for example, the resilient strands in stalks of celery.
Sclereids are small bundles of sclerenchyma tissue in plants that form durable layers, such as the cores of apples and the gritty texture of pears.

 Biological tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The classical tools for studying the tissues are the wax block, the tissue stain, and the optical microscope, though developments in electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and frozen sections have all added to the sum of knowledge in the last couple of decades.
Muscle tissue also is separated into three distinct categories: visceral or smooth muscle, which is found in the inner linings of organs; skeletal muscle, which is found attached to bone in order for mobility to take place; and cardiac muscle which is found in the heart.
Vascular tissue - The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem.

 Connective Tissue I
The amorphous ground substance is transparent and homogeneous.
As a result, there is a large amount of ground substance which contributes to the decreased cohesiveness of this connective tissue, accounting for its gross (no pun intended!) anatomical mucus-like morphology.
Loose connective tissue is found just about everywhere in the body, as it provides support for structures passing through it, such as blood and lymph vessels and nerves.

 Untitled
The cells in ground tissue function in food and water storage (especially in roots), in photosynthesis (in leaves) and they have the capacity to start dividing again when needed (as in wound healing and in the initiation of branch roots).
Vascular tissue consists of xylem tissue and phloem tissue and is usually associated with cells called fibers.
Notice the root cap which forms a sacrificial tissue of slime producing cells that protects the apical meristem as it is forced through the soil by elongating cells in the root.

In ordinary connective tissue, the ground substance consists mainly of water whose major role is to provide a route for communication and transport (by diffusion) between tissues.
Dense elastic connective tissue is found wherever the elasticity of elastin is of paramount importance, as in the ligamentum flavum (flavum refers to the yellow color conferred by the elastin) and the aorta.
The major determinant of the mechanical properties of most connective tissue is the extracellular matrix which is secreted by the cells within it (fibroblasts in ordinary connective tissue, osteoblasts and chondroblasts in bone and cartilage respectively).

 Botany online: Dermal Tissues, Parenchyma and Assimilation Tissues - Ground Tissue
The pith of the shoots, the storage tissue of the fruits, the seeds, the roots and other underground organs are all parenchyma tissues, as is the mesophyll (the assimilation tissue of leaves).
This is expressed by the term ground tissue, which means the mass of cells into which more specialized cells, like vascular tissues or seeds are imbedded.
Parenchyma tissues (from the pith of the shoot, for example), can be cultivated in appropriate synthetic culture media and are thus prompted to divide.

This is also a living tissue, but one that has an elongated shape and thick accumulations of wall material that are unevenly deposited.

 Lecture 29: Plant structure
Monocots have vascular bundles distributed throughout ground tissue of stem; dicots have bundles of vascular tissue positioned in a ring in stem.
Monocot leaves have parallel veins and the base of the leaf blade encircles and sheathes the stem; dicots leaves have netlike veins and the flat portion (blade) is usually connected to the stem by a stalk (petiole).
- buds are meristem tissues covered by modified leaves; terminal buds occur at the tips of shoots; lateral buds form in the upper angles where the leaf petiole is attached to the stem.

For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin, to expose the chloroplast containing cells (´´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).
The veins are the vascular tissue of the leaf and are located in the spongy layer of the mesophyll.
