Study Notes
Meristematic Tissue
- Meristems are regions in plants producing new cells.
- Meristems are called meristematic tissues or simply meristems.
- Merizein - a Greek word meaning "divide"
- Meristems in plant responsible for growth and cell differentiation.
- Cell differentiation refers to the physical change in cells leading to specialization for a particular function.
Permanent Tissue
- When tissues are already specialized for a particular function and cease to divide, they are classified as permanent tissues.
- Permanent tissues can be composed of living or dead cells, and are positioned in a plant and can be classified as either simple or complex.
Types of Meristems
- Meristematic tissues are specialized to produce new cells and tissues.
- They are not evolved for particular function
- There are many ways to classify meristematic tissues, but classification is based on their locations.
