1) Plants have meristematic tissues that allow for indeterminate growth, including apical meristems at the tips of roots and shoots that initiate primary growth. 2) There are three primary meristem types - protoderm, procambium, and ground meristem - that give rise to the primary plant body. 3) Meristematic cells later differentiate into various cell types like parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells that make up the different plant tissues.

Editor's Notes
- Shoot System – upper part Stem- supports upright growth; conduction of substances Leaves –photosynthesis Flowers –reproductive structure that attracts pollinators Root System – specialized; penetrates soil (except for few); spread downward and sideward Function: absorb water and dissolved nutriets; anchorage; stores food
- Primary plant body –produced by shoot and root apical meristem
- Primary meristems –regions of cell growth Protoderm –produces the primary dermal tissue system or epidermis Procambium –produces the primary vascular system (phloem, xylem) Ground system –produces the ground or fundamental tissue system (neither conducting and dermal tissues) Lateral meristem –makes plants woody; causes thickening of stems and roots Secondary growth –growth in thickness produced by lateral meristems
- Meristematic Cells –unspecialized cells that can divide indefinitely to produce new cells Meristems –regions that produce new growth Initials –meristematic cells that remain within meristems as sources of new growth; one of the daughter cells Derivative –other daughter cell that is pushed out of the meristem divides or begins elongation and differentiation Differentiation –process where an unspecialized cell becomes a specialized cell
- with secondary walls hardened by lignin -more expensive to produce (cellulose making up the secondary walls) -less common in smaller plants -typically dead in maturity *provides rigid support Types: Fibers Sclereids (stone cells) –rockhard and inflexible (nutshell and fruit pits); gritty sand-like structures (pears
- Vascular plants –with highly organized and efficient vascular tissues consist of cells joined into tubes that transport water and nutrients throughout the plant’s body; majority of plants; evolved from algae-like ancestors
- Epidermis –one layer of dismal tissue (first year of growth) Periderm –replaces epidermis of stems and roots for plants that live more than one growing season Trichome –hair like extensions, dermal cells that modify Cuticle –layer of wax and fatty acids (cutin) found outside the cell wall helps to limit water loss
- Epidermis –one layer of dismal tissue (first year of growth) Periderm –replaces epidermis of stems and roots for plants that live more than one growing season Trichome –hair like extensions, dermal cells that modify Cuticle –layer of wax and fatty acids (cutin) found outside the cell wall helps to limit water loss
- Vascular tissue system –continuous system of tissues that conduct water minerals and food Xylem –brings water and nutrients from the roots to the other parts Phloem –moves sugars and other organic nutrients from leaves to the other parts Sap –contents transported by xylem and phloem Tracheids –long cells with tapered ends; first water conducting cells to evolve in vascular plants align with each other to form continuous water conducting system Pits –thin regions n primary walls of tracheids; aligns with pits of adjacent tracheids Vessel elements –water conducting cells that transport water and minerals more rapidly; dead at maturity Sieve Tube Members /Elements –alive and active at maturity; brings organic nutrients from the leaves to other parts; believed to be arising from the meristem others think they are highly defirrentiated form of parenchyma
- Sap –contents transported by xylem and phloem Vessel elements –water conducting cells that transport water and minerals more rapidly; dead at maturity Sieve Tube Members /Elements –alive and active at maturity; brings organic nutrients from the leaves to other parts; believed to be arising from the meristem others think they are highly defirrentiated form of parenchyma Sieve plates-cell walls with membrane-lined pores that allow materials from cell to cell Companion cell –cell that shares its nucleus to the siee tube members which do not have nucleus at maturity Callose –carbohydrate molecule formed by sieve tube members when damaged; around the components of cell wall in its sieve plates Sieve cell –primitive type of water conducting cell in non-flowering plants
- In most dicots: Cortex- region between the vascular bundles and the epidermis Pith – center of the stem; inside the ring of vascular bundle
