Tendril   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) A tendril is a slender stem- or petiole-like structure that is used by vines and lianas (climbing plants) to wrap around or to hook a support. The tendril is, in most cases, a flexible modified shoot, for example, a modified leaf or portion of a leaf, for which thin blade never forms while the central axis elongates greatly via apical and especially intercalary growth. Tendril climbing should be a very efficient mode of ascending into a low canopy, because tendrils can grow laterally from a vertical main stem, thereby minimizing amount of stem tissue necessary for climbing. www.botgard.ucla.edu /html/botanytextbooks/generalbotany/typesofshoots/tendril/index.html   (282 words)

tendril. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Tendrils are modified stems, leaves, or leaf parts or roots. Most young tendrils revolve slowly in their natural growth, as do the growing tips of roots and shoots; the tendrils of different plant varieties may have a consistent tendency to clockwise or to counterclockwise spiraling. The most common kind of tendril (pea, grape) coils around a slender support and then contracts spirally, becoming springy and drawing the plant to the support. www.bartleby.com /65/te/tendril.html   (172 words)
