Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The formation of primary meristem near the ground surface in grasses and the growing of a lawn and mowing it every week in the summer.

Introduction:

The meristematic tissues are the tissues that possess the maximum ability for growth and regeneration. These small cells grow quickly and in addition exhibit dense cytoplasm.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The results after the mowing of the dicot lawn.

Introduction:

The dicots have apical and lateral meristems that control the primary and secondary growth of plants. The apical meristems are located in axillary and terminal outgrowths, buds, and shoots. In addition, these tissues are also present tips of roots. These tissues govern the elongation of apices of shoots and roots and this is primary growth. The lateral meristematic tissues are present in longitudinal sections of roots and shoots. The secondary growth occurs by the thickening of lateral meristem and they provide strength to plant tissues.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
You could prevent most of a plant's secondary growth by: Destroying the phloem portion of the vascular cambium It would require the combination of at least two of these Removing the apical or basal meristems Destroving the cork cambium Destroying the xylem portion of the vascular cambium
Which event would occur when guard cells are filled with water?     gases cannot diffuse into the plant   opening of stomata   diffusion of sugars into the sieve tube members   closing of stomata   gases cannot diffuse out of the plant
If the shoot apical meristem gets broken off due to bad weather or damage, what type of tree growth you expect to observe in the immediate future? The tree would grow wider instead of taller. The tree would not show any growth but would stay healthy and alive. The tree roots would grow deeper within the soil, but no growth would occur above ground. The tree would grow taller instead of wider. The tree growth would be uneven in many different directions.
