Secondary Growth in Dicot Root | Botany
In this article we will discuss about the secondary growth in dicot root. Dicotyledonous roots have limited number of radially arranged vascular bundles. With the initiation of secondary growth some parenchymatous conjunctive tissue cells become meristematic beneath the phloem groups, thus forming strips of meristems equal to the number of phloem groups present. The cells of one-layered pericycle now divide. [...]
