| 1. | Normally the meristematic cells are oval, polygonal or rectangular in shape.
|
| 2. | Their research demonstrated the world's first cambial meristematic cell isolation.
|
| 3. | Prior to fruiting, its principal function is to grow meristematic tissues.
|
| 4. | Dense protoplasm of meristematic cells contains very few vacuoles.
|
| 5. | Meristematic cells are packed closely together without intercellular cavities.
|
| 6. | In higher plants this function is the defining property of the meristematic cells.
|
| 7. | In fact, a typical shoot meristematic plant cell contains only 7 20 proplastids.
|
| 8. | These alterations indicate intense metabolic activity, appearing to dedifferentiate and resemble meristematic cells.
|
| 9. | Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.
|
| 10. | These plantlets arise from mitosis of meristematic-type tissue in notches in the leaves.
