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 [...]
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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the classification of meristem based on position. According to the position in plant body meristems are divided into apical meristem, intercalary meristem and lateral meristem (Fig. 7.3). Apical meristem: It is located at the apices of roots and at the apices of main and lateral shoots. It is also located in trichomes, glands [...]
