Question
Chapter 36, Problem 16TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The agricultural value of research to understand the control of root hair development.
Introduction: Roots and stems of plants are produced with secondary growth. Gymnosperms and woody eudicots have primary growth at apical meristem and at lateral meristem, the secondary growth occurs. The secondary tissue is produced as a result of the activity of two lateral meristems, namely the cork cambium and vascular cambium.
Summary Introduction

Compare the leaf structure of Potamogeton to Ligustrum. Look for stomata. Where are they located? On the upper or lower leaf surface? Does Potamogeton have sunken stomata or leaf hairs? Look at the area beneath the upper epidermis and compare it to the Ligustrum and Nerium leaves. How does it differ? What value does this have for the plant?
