In this article we will discuss about the classification of meristem based on the plane of cell division. Mass meristem, plate meristem and rib meristem belong to this category. Mass meristem (or block meristem): Ex. young embryos, endosperm, reproductive organs during the formation of spores and sperms etc. The cells of this meristem divide in all planes thus the tissue [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of meristem based on function. The categories are: 1. Protoderm 2. Procambium 3. Ground Meristem. Category # 1. Protoderm: The formation of dermal tissue system in plant is attributable to protoderm. Dermal tissue system consists of epidermis/multiple epidermises and all other structures that occur on epidermis, e.g. stomata, hairs, glandular hairs [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of plant tissues based on types of cell. There are two types of tissue — simple and complex. Simple tissues are homogeneous, i.e., they are composed of one type of cells only, which have similar morphological structure, perform same function and originate from the same mother cell. Parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma [...]
