The document discusses the physiology of stem development. It defines stems as the part of the plant present above ground that contains nodes and internodes. Stems generally have a cylindrical shape and actinomorphic symmetry. Growth occurs through cell division and expansion in the stem tip meristem. In dicots and gymnosperms, growth occurs in tissues a few centimeters below the tip, while in grasses growth is restricted to the base of each node. Environmental factors like temperature and light intensity influence the rate of stem elongation, which can vary significantly between species.

Definition of Stem Stem is part of plant which important which present in the upper soil, in the stem there are nodes, and internodes . Characteristic of Stem 1. Generally has shape like cylinder, always has characteristic actinomorf 2. Present nodes and internodes 3. The growth is upper, but sometimes there is growth in the lower (Rhizome) 4. There are branches 5. Has color brown not green except if the age is short Growth and development of stem
At the stem which grow active, the
division zone cell founded in the stem tip. At the gymnospermae or dicotil the fission and large of cell happen in the tissue which place some centimeter from the stem. Growth and development of stem
Stem cell large with radial way, after that
happen differentiation, for the first form procambium, and then xylem and phloem. This differentiation directly with acropetal way, from the old cells, after that experience the large with longitudinal and give the stem large effect. Growth and development of stem
At the grass (graminae) division and large of
stem cell happen in the tip of stem, but happen in the certain position, that is in the base of node in the each node. The meristematic zone at base of node is called intercalary meristem because found in the old cell which inactive to fission. Growth and development of stem
The range lengthening of stem is different
between species and other species, and influenced by environment factor. The range lengthening of stem can be get 2,5 cm/hour, and high The range lengthening of stem happen in the bamboo. Growth and development of stem
Environment factor which has bigger influence
toward lengthening of stem is temperature and light intensity. lengthening of stem is speed if the plant growth at the low light intensity. Growth and development of stem
Apical meristem of stem is place
whereas leaf, branches, and generative organs formed. Thanks for your attention
