Interkalær
Interkalær, in botany, refers to intercalary meristem, a type of plant tissue capable of continued longitudinal growth at sites away from the apical tips. In many monocotyledons, especially grasses, intercalary meristems are located at the bases of leaves and along internodes, where they contribute to the elongation of leaves and stems as the plant grows.
The primary function of interkalær meristem is to enable rapid replenishment and regrowth after damage or
Structurally, interkalary meristem consists of small, densely cytoplasmic cells with high mitotic activity. As cells divide,
Interkalær meristem is contrasted with apical meristems at shoot and root tips and with lateral meristems
