In this article we will discuss about the classification of plant tissues based on development. Tissues are generally classified on the basis of development and the types of constituent cell — a brief account of which is as follows. Classification of tissues based on development: (a) Meristematic Tissue: Meristematic tissues can be defined as a group of cells which have [...]
