Bulliform cells are responsible for
- Inward curling of leaves in monocots.
- Protecting the plant from salt stress.
- Increased photosynthesis in monocots.
- Providing large spaces for storage of sugars.
Answer
(1) Inward curling of leaves in monocots.
Solution
Bulliform cells are large, empty, colourless cells of the adaxial epidermis of grass (monocot) leaves. When they are turgid the leaf surface is exposed; when they become flaccid due to water stress, the leaves curl inwards to reduce water loss.
