Some strains of S marcescens are capable of producing a pigment called prodigiosin, which ranges in color from dark red to pale pink, depending on the age of the colonies.
Vascular Tissue: the xylem and phloem in leaves are confined to vascular bundles or veins. Veins are surrounded by a layer of cells call the bundle sheath. The bundle sheath can be composed of parenchyma, colenchyma, or fibers.
Non-vascular plants do not have a wide variety of specialized tissue types. Mosses and leafy liverworts have structures that look like leaves, but are not true leaves because they are single sheets of cells with no stomata, no internal air spaces and have no xylem or phloem.
