In this article we will discuss about the secondary growth in monocotyledonous stem. Most monocotyledons consist entirely of primary tissues. The usual vascular cambium is absent from this group and so there is no normal secondary growth. However, in some monocots, the thickening and elongation of stem occurs through primary thickening meristem, diffuse secondary thickening and secondary thickening meristem. Primary [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics of axillary bud in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of the axillary bud in plants. The lateral branch of seed plants, in their nascent state, is referred to as axillary bud that is commonly present on the stem at the axil of leaves. The [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between vascular cambium and cork cambium. Difference # Vascular Cambium: 1. It is also referred to as cambium. 2. Procambium gives rise to cambium. 3. Cambium originates from meristemetic tissue and so it is customary to regard it as primary meristem. 4. Each cell of vascular cambium may be spindle shaped [...]
