Plant root development, artwork
Plant root development. Artwork showing the first three stages in the development of a plant root. The first of these three stages (upper left) shows the root consisting of three undifferentiated layers that will form the future epidermis (white), cortex (orange) and vascular (grey) layers. The second stage (upper right) shows the development of the primary phloem, endodermis (yellow), pericycle, and primary xylem (green). The third stage (lower centre) shows the further development of the primary xylem and primary phloem (blue), and the cambium. For the fourth and fifth stages of plant root development, see image C009/0276

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Plant Root Development" showcases the intricate stages of a plant root's growth. In the upper left corner, we witness the initial phase where three undifferentiated layers are visible, representing the future epidermis, cortex, and vascular layers. The contrasting colors of white, orange, and grey beautifully illustrate this process. Moving to the upper right section of the image, we observe further advancement in root development. Here, primary phloem emerges alongside other vital components such as endodermis (depicted in yellow), pericycle, and primary xylem displayed in vibrant green hues. The lower center stage reveals an even more developed root structure. The blue shades signify continued growth of both primary xylem and phloem while introducing us to another crucial element – cambium. This central illustration truly captures nature's remarkable ability to evolve and adapt. Through this stunning visual representation created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we gain insight into plant anatomy at its core. Each layer serves a specific purpose within this biological masterpiece that is essential for physiological functions. This print not only celebrates botanical beauty but also provides a valuable educational tool for biology enthusiasts or anyone fascinated by nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder that beneath our feet lies an extraordinary world waiting to be explored – one that holds secrets of growth and life itself.
