HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -All plants exhibit at least one form of apical meristem consisting of one or more cells that are functionally analogous to metazoan stem cells because they are histogenetic, i.e., able to generate specialized tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -The shoot apical meristem produces the three primary meristems: procambium, ground meristem, and protoderm.

Detailed explanation-3: -The protoderm, in turn, develops into epidermis, the procambium, chiefly into primary vascular tissues, and the ground meristem, into ground tissues. Also called: apical meristematic tissue. apical embryonic tissue.
