| | Meristem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | At the tip (apex) of the root the apical meristem is covered and protected by a root cap of differentiated cells. | | | Ground meristem develops into the pith and the cork cambium, another secondary meristem. | | | Such new plants can be grown from shoot cuttings that contain an apical meristem. |

| | Apical meristem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The root apical meristem is covered by the root cap, which protects the apical meristem from the rocks, dirt and other pathogens. | | | Apical meristems are very small, compared to the cylinder-shaped lateral meristems. | | | The corpus and tunica play a critical part of the plant physical appearance as all plant cells are formed from the meristems. |

| | meristem |
| | The cambium is a lateral meristem that is responsible for increase in girth in perennial plants. | | | Meristem culture involves growing meristems taken from shoots on a nutrient-containing medium, and using them to grow new plants. | | | These are responsible for their continued growth after cutting or grazing has removed the apical meristems of the shoots. |

| | Place last jar from rinsing process containing the meristem inside your sterile "hood" Using sterile conditions, transfer meristem on to cell proliferation media (you do this by "poking" the explant into the media so that the base/crown part is submerged in the media and the "leaf part" is above the media) and replace cap. | | | Tissue culture can be done with two different sets of tissue from the Hosta plant: the meristem or the very young scape (flower stalk). | | | The sizes, of course, vary with the size of the plant itself. |

| | Flowering |
| | Flowering involves the conversion of the apical meristem into a floral meristem, from which all the parts of the flower will be produced. | | | The flowering plants (angiosperms) go through a phase of vegetative growth — producing more stems and leaves — and a flowering phase where they produce the organs for sexual reproduction. | | | Vegetative growth of the above-ground part of the plant — the shoot — occurs at the apical meristem. |

| | Growth from apical meristems |
| | The apical meristem is a group of cells that retain the ability to continue divisions, forming new cells continuously as the plant grows. | | | The cambium makes large cells early in the year, and smaller ones later in the summer, and this cycling of large and small cells is responsible for the appearance of growth rings in the wood, usually 1 "ring" per year. | | | A plant grows new tissue from an apical meristem. |
