Examples of apical meristem in the following topics:
-
- The cells of the shoot and root apical meristems divide rapidly and are considered to be indeterminate, which means that they do not possess any defined end fate.
- The apical meristem, also known as the "growing tip," is an undifferentiated meristematic tissue found in the buds and growing tips of roots in plants .
- An active apical meristem lays down a growing root or shoot behind itself, pushing itself forward.
- Each zone of the apical meristem has a particular function.
- The apical meristem, pictured in the center of the leaves of this image, is also termed the "growing tip".
-
- Shoots and roots of plants increase in length through rapid cell division in a tissue called the apical meristem, which is a small zone of cells found at the shoot tip or root tip .
- The apical meristem is made of undifferentiated cells that continue to proliferate throughout the life of the plant.
- A separate meristem, called the lateral meristem, produces cells that increase the diameter of tree trunks.
- Addition of new cells in a root occurs at the apical meristem.
- The root cap protects the fragile apical meristem as the root tip is pushed through the soil by cell elongation.
-
- Flower development is the process by which angiosperms produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of a flower.
- the apical meristem must transform from a vegetative meristem into a floral meristem or inflorescence
- A flower develops on a modified shoot or axis from a determinate apical meristem (determinate meaning the axis grows to a set size).
- In the simple ABC model of floral development, three gene activities (termed A, B, and C-functions) interact to determine the developmental identities of the organ primordia (singular: primordium) within the floral meristem.
- In order to achieve reproduction, the plant must become sexually mature, the apical meristem must become a floral meristem, and the flower must develop its individual reproductive organs.
-
- The apex (tip) of the shoot contains the apical meristem within the apical bud.
-
- It is the result of cell division in the shoot apical meristem .
- It is caused by cell division in the lateral meristem .
- Most primary growth occurs at the apices, or tips, of stems and roots.
- Primary growth is a result of rapidly-dividing cells in the apical meristems at the shoot tip and root tip.
- In woody plants, cork cambium is the outermost lateral meristem.
-
- They also control the differentiation of meristem into vascular tissue and promote leaf development and arrangement.
- Apical dominance (the inhibition of lateral bud formation) is triggered by auxins produced in the apical meristem.
- Cytokinins are known to delay senescence in leaf tissues, promote mitosis, and stimulate differentiation of the meristem in shoots and roots.
- For example, apical dominance seems to result from a balance between auxins that inhibit lateral buds and cytokinins that promote bushier growth.
- GAs are synthesized in the root and stem apical meristems, young leaves, and seed embryos.
-
- Darwin observed that light was perceived by the the apical meristem (tip of the plant), but that the plant bent in response in a different part of the plant.
- The Darwins concluded that the signal had to travel from the apical meristem to the base of the plant, where it bent.
-
- Cells akin to an apical meristem actively divide and give rise to a gametophore, consisting of a photosynthetic stem and foliage-like structures.
- Apical meristem-like cells divide and give rise to the gametophores.
-
- The zone of cell division is closest to the root tip and is made up of the actively-dividing cells of the root meristem, which contains the undifferentiated cells of the germinating plant.
- Cell division occurs in the apical meristem.
-
- The zone of cell division is closest to the root tip; it is made up of the actively-dividing cells of the root meristem.
- Cell division occurs in the apical meristem.
