Definition of stroma in English: stromanounPlural stromata ˈstrəʊməˈstroʊmə 1Anatomy Biology mass noun The supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumour, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels. a loose stroma of connective tissue mass noun the virus caused necrosis of epithelium and stroma Example sentencesExamples - The stroma consists of fatty tissue and ligaments surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.
- Tumor cells were embedded in a loose collagenous stroma.
- The bland fibrous stroma is infiltrated by mature lymphocytes and plasma cells.
- Loose connective tissue stroma predominated in the less cellular areas.
- The deeper regions of the tumor showed hypocellularity and had an abundance of loose edematous stroma.
- 1.1 The spongy framework of protein fibres in a red blood cell or platelet.
Example sentencesExamples - The endometrial stroma has a framework consisting of reticular fibers and stromal cells.
- Typical plaques showed proliferation of myofibroblastic cells with myxoid stroma.
- The surrounding stroma was infiltrated by plasma cells and scattered aggregates of lymphocytes, forming follicles with germinal centres.
- The results indicate that the stroma contains some rather fragile enzymes.

- 1.2Botany The matrix of a chloroplast, in which the grana are embedded.
Example sentencesExamples - There is characteristically a dense sparsely cellular fibrous stroma.

2Botany A mass of fungal tissue that has spore-bearing structures either embedded in it or on its surface. the fruiting body is tightly compressed and sessile on a stroma Example sentencesExamples - During in vivo measurements, excitation light is incident upon the epithelium, and must travel through this tissue layer before reaching the stroma.
