Meristem A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plant where growth can take place. Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.

Meristem Growth in plants occurs in the meristems. Meristematic cells are  undifferentiated and exist in the dermis of the leaves, stem, and  roots. They give rise to various organs …of the plant and keep the  plant growing.

Meristems Cells in the meristem, however, divide and produce all of the new cells in a plant. While meristem tissue is the source of the regenerative potential of a plant, meristems also play a pivotal role in normal plant growth.ateral meristem is called the vascular cambium in many of the plants in which it is found. Secondary growth gives a plant added stability that allows for the plant to grow taller. Lastly, some plants have intercalary meristem.

plant structure bi In plants, the formation of new cells, tissues and organs is restricted almost entirely to regions known as meristems. Meristems: There are 3 main types of meristematic tissue in vascular seed plants ---- apical, intercalary, & lateral meristems.issues are groups of cells with similar structures & functions. Plants have 3 tissue systems --- ground, dermal, and vascular tissues. Plant tissues make up the main organs of a plant --- root, stem, leaf, & flower.

Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.hese secondary meristems are also known as lateral meristems because they are involved in lateral growth. At the meristem summit, there is a small group of slowly dividing cells, which is commonly called the central zone.

What are meristems and why are they important? Apical meristems are the completely undifferentiated (indeterminate) meristems in a plant. These differentiate into three kinds of primary meristems. The primary meristems in turn produce the two secondary meristem types.These secondary meristems are also known as lateral meristems because they are involved in lateral growth.n general, differentiated plant cells cannot divide or produce cells of a different type. Therefore, cell division in the meristem is required to provide new cells for expansion and differentiation of tissues and initiation of new organs, providing the basic structure of the plant body.

Apical Meristem: Definition & Function Apical meristem is found at the apices, or tips of the plant, both the tip of the shoot and the root and is a region of actively dividing cells. The definition of is easy to remember when you break it down.

Meristems Meristem tissue is not autonomous. Throughout the life of the plant, the rate of cell division and cell elongation in the meristems is regulated by plant hormones. For example, giberellins stimulate cell division in shoot apical meristem, causing the plant to grow taller.oth roots and shoots have meristematic tissue at their tips called apical meristems that are responsible for the lengthening of roots and shoots. The shoot apical meristem is formed during embryonic development, but after germination gives rise to the stem, leaves, and flowers.

cambium cambium (kăm`bēəm), thin layer of generative tissue lying between the bark and the wood of a stem, most active in woody plants. The cambium produces new layers of phloem on the outside and of xylem (wood wood, botanically, the xylem tissue that forms the bulk of the stem of a woody plant.

- Meristematic tissuesare lumps of small cells with dense cytoplasm and propor-tionately large nuclei that act like stem cells in animals.That is, one cell divides to give rise to two cells. One re-mains meristematic, while the other is free to differentiateand contribute to the plant body.

Vascular Tissues Vascular tissue develops in all organs — root, stem, and leaf — of the plant body. In the primary plant body, vascular tissue differentiates from a primary meristem, the procambium. Xylem and phloem tissues that differentiate from procambial tissue are called primary xylem and primary phloem.

Plant Tissues - Plant Biology There are other tissues in plants that do not actively produce new cells. These tissues are called nonmeristematic tissues. Nonmeristematic tissues are made of cells that are produced by the meristems and are formed to various shapes and sizes depending on their intended function in the plant.hese plants do have apical meristems and in areas of leaf attachment, called nodes, they have the third type of meristematic tissue. This meristem will also actively produce new cells and is responsibly for increases in length. The intercalary meristem is responsible for the regrowth of cut grass.

- Most plants grow from the tips of branches and roots where apical meristems produce new cells. As a result, in all buds, at the ends of all branch tips and on root tips, apical meristems are found. Apical meristems produce new cells that differentiate into three distinct embryonic tissues.These are the protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium. In the diagram, you can see protoderm will form the epidermal tissues.Ground meristem is the embryonic tissue that forms cells of the cortex and pith. Procambium forms the vascular tissues, xylem and phloem. Apical meristems contribute to initial plant growth called primary growth. second ring of meristematic tissue forms just below the epidermis in woody plants to produce bark. This is the cork cambium. The cork cambium and vascular cambium contribute to subsequent or secondary growth typically found only in woody plants. Now, roll over the apical meristem on the diagram..
