Question
Chapter 40.6, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To contrast: The pattern of shoot emergence in bean and maize.
Introduction: The plants are the multicellular eukaryotic organism in the kingdom Plantae. It is characterised by photosynthetic nutrition, a process through which it synthesis carbohydrates, essential unlimited growth at localised region, presence of cellulose in their cell wall and absence of locomotory organs.

Compare and contrast the characteristics of a somatic embryo and a shoot grown directly from a leaf explant. Explain the differences between somatic and androgenic embryos.
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?
