This type of organization is necessary to supply cells to the root cap, which constantly sloughsoff cells as the root penetrates the soil. Another difference is that the root apical meristem does not give rise to lateral organs. Lateral roots arise from deep within mature regions of the root. Note that there are no lateral roots in the region just above the root cap. Card 3-5: Draw a diagram of a root apex and label the root cap and lateral roots. Part 4 - Organization of the root apical meristem As with shoot apical meristems, the organization of root apical meristems varies among taxa.
Pavement cells lack chloroplasts and are covered by a 19 cuticle that may be very thick in xeric-adapted plant. Examine the prepared slide of Yucca leaf and identify pavement cells and cuticle. Card 4-2: Draw a diagram of pavement cells with cuticle in Yucca leaf. Occasionally the shoot epidermis may be more than one cell layer thick. This occurs if cells derived from the L1 layer divide periclinally forming two layers of protoderm that differentiate into a multiple epidermis. Cut free-hand sections of Begonia leaf to observe a multiple epidermis.
However, plants that grow large or persist for several years require a larger stem diameter for support, increased amounts of vascular tissue to supply greater numbers of branches and leaves, and a means to replace vascular tissues that cavitate due to winter freezing. Some monocots are large and perennial, even without secondary growth. These plants have adapted specialized strategies for increasing their girth and vascular supply. However, dicots and gymnosperms undergo secondary growth through activation of a secondary meristem called the vascular cambium.
