Anatomy of Flowering Plants

Meristematic Tissues (Group B)

• A tissue is a group of cells having a common origin and performing the same function.

• On the basis of their ability to divide, plant tissues can be divided into

  • meristematic tissue

  • permanent tissue

Meristematic Tissue

• Meristems - specialized region of cell division where growth is restricted
  

• Primary meristem = Apical meristem + Intercalary meristem

To test your knowledge of this concept, solve the following puzzle

 

 

• Axillary bud − These are buds constituted by some apical meristems left behind during the elongation of stems and leaves. These buds are capable of forming branches and flowers.

• In course of formation of primary plant body, specific regions of apical meristem produce dermal, ground, and vascular tissues.

• Following division in both primary and secondary meristems, the new cells so formed lose the capacity to divide and become permanent tissues.

Simple Permanent Tissues

 

• Based on the structural differences, plant permanent tissues are of two types:

  • Simple permanent tissues

  • Complex permanent …
