The FT protein resulting from the short period of CO transcription factor activity is then transported via the phloem to the shoot apical meristem.

In the following century Caspar Friedrich Wolff was able to follow the development of organs from the " growing points " or apical meristems.

Grazing animals can kill young plants through trampling, or by eating the terminus at the apical meristem, the growing portion of the plant.
24.
Apical meristems, located at the shoot tip and axillary buds on the stem, allow plants to increase in length, surface, and mass.
25.
Their flowers, appearing on the apical meristem, have the anthers fused along the edges, forming a column surrounding the pistil's style.
26.
At the shoot apical meristem, the FT protein interacts with a transcription factor ( FD protein ) to activate floral identity genes, thus inducing flowering.

For example, saguaro cactus spines shade the apical meristem in summer, and in members of the Opuntioideae, glochids insulate the apical meristem in winter.

In shoots, proplastids from shoot apical meristems can gradually develop into chloroplasts in photosynthetic leaf tissues as the leaf matures, if exposed to the required light.
