Parallel venation: In parallel venation

In parallel venation , the veins in a leaf run parallel to one another on both the sides of the mid-rib (see Figure). The examples of plants having parallel venation in their leaves are : Wheat, Paddy (Rice), Maize, Millet (Bajra), Sugarcane, Bamboo, Barley, Lily and Banana. Learn the definition, structure, examples and occurrence of parallel and reticulate venation in plants. Parallel venation has veins running parallel without branching, while reticulate venation has veins forming a network pattern. Learn about the main parts of a leaf, such as blade, petiole, midrib, and venation . Compare different types of venation , such as parallel , pinnate, and palmate, and their effects on leaf shape and function. Learn the definition, types and importance of parallel and reticulate venation in plants. Compare and contrast the features and examples of these two types of venation in leaves and roots.
