ANATOMY OF FLOWERING PLANTS (CLASS 11) BY SIDDIQUI ACADEMY
The Tissues A tissue is a collection of cells that share a common origin and function. A plant is made up of a variety of tissues. Meristematic and permanent tissues are the two types of tissues. This is founded on affecting the cells' ability to divide. Meristematic tissue cells can divide, whereas permanent tissue cells do not split any farther. 1. Meristematic Tissues Plant growth is primarily limited to meristems, which are specialised regions of rapid cell division. Meristems come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Meristems are classified into two types based on their origin: primary and secondary. I. Primary Meristem Primary meristems create the primary plant body and are present early in the life of a plant. There are two types of primary meristems: apical and intercalary meristems. Apical meristem The apical meristem is a type of meristem that is found at the tips of shoots and roots. They are responsible for the production of primary tissues. Shoot apical meristem ...
