Examine the shoot system of a mature plant (Coleus blumei). Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes, leaves, and axillary buds. Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?
What are three functions of the shoot apical meristem?
