Meristemiset
Meristemiset are a type of plant tissue characterized by their ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types. They are found in the growing regions of plants, such as the tips of roots, shoots, and buds. Meristematic cells are undifferentiated, meaning they have the potential to develop into any type of cell, including other meristematic cells. This property allows meristematic tissues to contribute to the growth and development of plants.
Meristematic tissues can be classified into three main types based on their location and function:
1. Apical meristems: Found at the tips of roots and shoots, these meristems are responsible for primary
2. Lateral meristems: Located between the primary tissues of the plant, these meristems contribute to secondary
3. Intercalary meristems: Found in the internodes of some plants, these meristems allow for the elongation of
Meristematic tissues play a crucial role in plant growth and development, as they are responsible for the
