Apical Meristems
Primary Meristems
Primary Tissues
Secondary/Lateral Meristems
Secondary Tissues
What are the Apical Meristems
RAM and SAM
Apical Meristems become the Primary Meristems, what are they (3)
Protoderm
Ground Meristem
Procambium
Primary Tissue/s arising from the Protoderm
Epidermis
Primary Tissue/s arising from the Ground Meristem
Pith
Cortex
Endodermis
Mesophyll
Tissues arising from the Procambium
Primary: Pericycle, Primary Xylem, Primary Phloem
Secondary Meristem: Vascular Cambium
Secondary Meristems
Cork Cambium
Vascular Cambium
Cork Cambium is derived from?
Cortex, Epidermis, and Pericycle
Vascular Cambium is derived from?
Procambium and Pericycle
Secondary tissues
Periderm
Secondary Xylem
Secondary Phloem
embryonic tissue regions whose primary function is the formation of new cells
Meristems
Classification of
Meristems (Position)
Apical (SAM)
Intercalary
Lateral
Apical (RAM)
Located at the tips of root and shoot
Produces new leaves and flowers
Responsible for vertical
growth (primary growth)
Apical Meristems
Arranged parallel with
the root and stem axes
Produces bark on trees
Occurs at the cambium
Responsible for
horizontal growth
(secondary growth)
Lateral Meristems
Found within organs
near their bases
Situated between tissues that are no longer derived from apical meristem but meristematic activity occurs some distance from the apical
meristem
Increases length of internodes
Intercalary
Classification of Meristems (Origin)
Primary
Secondary
the initials are direct descendants of embryonic cells that never ceased their meristematic activity; apical meristems of shoot apex and root apex
Primary Meristem
the initials originate from cells that had differentiated then resumed meristematic activity
Secondary Meristem
Classification of Meristems (Continuity of activity)
Indeterminate
Determinate
Differentiate Indeterminate and Determinate
Indeterminate: Will keep growing
Determinate: Will stop growing
Gives rise to epidermal tissue system and develops into epidermis, stomata, and hairs
Protoderm
Gives rise to primary vascular tissues
Procambium
Gives rise to all tissues except epidermis and vascular tissues
Ground Meristem
