Bulliform cells are responsible for
A
Increased photosynthesis in monocots.
B
Providing large spaces for storage of sugars.
C
Inward curling of leaves in monocots.
D
Protecting the plant from salt stress.
Detailed Solution
Bulliform cells are large, empty, colourless cells present in the upper epidermis of grass (monocot) leaves.
When they lose water (are flaccid) during water stress, the leaves curl inwards, reducing exposed surface area and water loss; when turgid, the leaves unroll.
So bulliform cells are responsible for inward curling of leaves in monocots.
