An Overview of Secretory Tissues (With Diagram)! The cells directly concerned with secretions like resins, essential oils, mucilage, latex and similar substances together constitute secretory or special tissues. These cells have neither common origin nor morphological continuity. They may occur as isolated patches in any part of the plant, or may form well-organized structures. Two types of cells are usually [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the shoot apex and root apex of meristematic tissue of plant cell. The Shoot Apex: The terminal part of the shoot with the leaf primordia is the shoot apex where primary organisation of the shoot is initiated. In size and shape it varies enormously, but in a general way it can be said [...]
Meristematic Tissue of Plants: Introduction, Types and Theories (With Diagram)! Introduction: Meristematic tissue, commonly called meristem, is composed of cells which are immature, not fully differentiated ones, and which possess the power of cell division. The vascular plants exhibit an 'open system' of growth involving formation of new tissues and organs throughout its life. It is possible due to presence [...]
