meristem

Examples

• All

• AP1 homologues are therefore more accurately described as floral meristem identity genes—genes that direct a meristem to become a flower.

• AP1 also plays a more basic role, one that is outside the scope of the ABC model: directing the meristem to form a flower.

• New growth will come the following year from the surviving apical meristem (branch tip).

• When A and B genes both act in the outer two regions of the meristem, two whorls of petals form.

  Academic text (2006)

• Later, in the developing floral meristem, B, C, and E genes kick in to make petals, stamens, and carpels.

• By contrast, the links between leaf initiation rate, relative growth rate, and meristem number are weaker or absent under well-watered conditions.

  Academic text (2000)

• For example, in a given population, the first spores to germinate produce gametophytes that mature with meristems and archegonia.

  Academic text (2002)

• The genes that act in a given whorl of a floral meristem determine which kind of organ (sepal, petal, stamen, or carpel) the whorl grows into.

  Academic text (2006)

• Plant growth typically occurs in the meristem, where cell division creates new tissues.

• When you cut off the tip of the plant, the remaining meristem will generate new leaves and stems.
