Merisztimájából

Merisztimájából is a biological term referring to the tissue derived from a meristem. Meristems are specific regions in plants where cell division occurs, allowing for continuous growth. These actively dividing cells are undifferentiated and have the potential to develop into various specialized plant tissues. Therefore, merisztimájából represents the cellular or tissue material that originates from these meristematic zones.

In practice, merisztimájából is often utilized in plant propagation techniques such as micropropagation or tissue culture. Explants, which are small pieces of plant tissue, are taken from meristematic regions, including shoot tips or root tips. These explants are then cultured in a sterile laboratory environment on a suitable nutrient medium. The cells within the merisztimájából proliferate and differentiate, forming calluses or directly regenerating into complete plantlets. This ability of meristematic tissue to regenerate makes it invaluable for producing large numbers of genetically identical plants, often used for research, agriculture, and horticulture. The genetic stability of meristematic tissue is also a key factor in its use, as it is often less prone to viral infections than other plant tissues.
