If all meristematic tissues are removed from a certain plant then is it capable of producing another set of meristematic tissue. Give reason for your answer
Meristematic tissues are of three types such as apical meristem, intercalary meristem, and lateral meristem.
- Apical meristem is present at the tip which divides continuously to increase the height of the plant. If it is removed the plant will become short, bushy, and flowering will stop.
- Intercalary meristem is present in the middle portion at the base of nodes and leaf blades. Intercalary meristem is capable of cell division, rapid growth, and regrowth. It helps in increasing the length of the internode.
- Lateral meristem is present at the sides in all woody plants and consists of the vascular cambium and the cork cambium. It helps in increasing the thickness of the plants.
Therefore, if all meristematic tissues are removed from a certain plant its growth will stop, as plant is not capable of producing another set of meristematic tissue.
