Phloem differentiation in phaseolus mungo
M.A. HAQUE AND
E.M. ENGLEEMAN
Abstract
Immature protophloem sieve elements
present in the embryo of phaseolus mungo mature about  the time of germination . the sieve elements differentiate both  acropetally and basipatally. There are numerous protophloem sieve tubes in the  uppe hypocotyl. These are connected by anastomosis to four sieve tube, in the root . the  protophloem sieve tubes are accompanied  by  hyperchromatic phloem parenchyma. Hyperchromaticity is  the greatest near the differentiating end  in the root vascular bundles in the cotyledon are amphicribral . thin deposis of callose are present in some sieve plates but absent in others.
