Question
Chapter 22.4, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The two lateral meristems in a woody stem or root and the tissues that each meristem produce.
Concept introduction:
Meristematic tissues or meristems are the most actively growing tissues. The reason for they being the most actively growing tissues is that they have large concentrations of plant hormone called auxins which are responsible for very rapid and highly active rate of cell division. They are present at the tips of growing roots and shoots.
