Q. Bulliform cells which show characteristic folding of leaves are found in

UP CPMTUP CPMT 2014

Solution:

Bulliform cells (or motor cells) are present in the upper leaf epidermis of Poaceae and other monocotyledons (desert grasses). Turgor changes in bulliform cells are responsible for the rolling and unrolling of leaves, e.g., maize, psamma grasses. Therefore, they are also called motor cells. They are highly vacuolated and can store water.
