Shoot apical meristems produce stem tissues, produce leaves, and produce flowers. Cell proliferation characteristics of meristems are dependent upon cell maturation processes and the functions of ...
Owing to recent advances, plant vascular developmental can now be described from early specification during embryogenesis up to late differentiation events. Plant vascular tissues display both ...
Asymmetrically transported auxin-efflux carriers cause a polarized flow of auxin, which leads to the formation of continuous columns of procambial cells. In addition, one or more ...
Plants transport water in pipe-like structures made of dead and empty cells within a vascular tissue called xylem. A researcher concludes in his doctoral dissertation that different cell types work ...
