Plant Growth

Generate new cells

Apical= length (primary growth)

Lateral= thickness (secondary)

• Vascular Cambium (adds vasc tissue)
• Cork Cambium (replace epidermis)

In woody plants both growth at same time.

Dividing Cells prod--> 

• Initials (stay in meri)
• Derivatives (form tiss)

• Division
• Elongation (10x)
• Differen

Eudicots= Vascular bundles forming ring

Monocots= Scattered vasc bundles

Stems and Roots

Rare in monocots

Vascular Cambium= inc flow and support to shoots.

Cork Cambium= prod tough cells, protects against H2O

Development of body form and organization

Single cell zygote into complex individual

• Embryogenesis
• Vegetative Development
• Reproductive development

Not fixed but affected by position

Cells final position determines kind cell it becomes

Positional effects mediated by morphogenes (provide positional cues)

• Plant growth in meristems
• Primary= length
• Secondary= girth/strength
