- 1. Examine the shoot system of a mature plant. Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes,leaves, and axillary buds. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds giverise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin).How does this compare to branching in a root system?2. Examine a longitudinal section through a Coleus stem tip. Identify the apical meristem, leafprimordia (developing leaf), bud primordia (developing axillary buds), nodes, and internodes.Beginning with the apical meristem, follow the development of shoot tissues. Identify protoderm, procambium, and ground meristem, pith, and cortex. A) You will not be able to identify any mature cells or tissues in this slide (keep in mind thesize of theshoot tip). What are the mature tissues that each of these primary meristems become?B) Can you find a node (where procambium diverges in to the leaf primordium)? These areasare also commonly called Aleaf gaps@.
