Merismatic Tissue (meristems)

• comes from the Greek word 'merizein' which means divide

• Cell differentiation
Types of Meristems (base on location)

Merismatic tissues are very special in a way that they

give rise to new cells and tissues
• Apical Meristems
Shoot Apical
Meristems
(SAM)

Root Apical
Meristems
(SAM)

• Plants are polar organisms- have two opposite ends.

• responsible for producing new cells at both ends.
• Responsible for increasing the length of the plants.
• can increase the length of the plant indefinitely
2. Lateral Meristems

• Plants also need to increase in radius. This is made possible by radial or secondary
growth.
• Lateral Meristems- increase the plants diameter as to growns and it can be found
along the sides of the roots and stems.
2.1 Vascular Cambium

• Produces vascular tissues that are in turn, responsible for conduction of water,
nutrients and other metabolites.
2.2 Cork Cambium

• responsible for producing the cork and epidermis in woody and herbaceous plants.
 The secondary growth made by lateral meristems is very important
in life cycle of plants. As plant grow, their biomass increases, which
necessitates the growth of trunks or stems to support the increasing
body weight.
3. Intercalary Meristems

• present in the of the leaves, stems and nodes of monocots.

• commonly found in grasses
• Enables a plant to rapidly grow its leaves and stems and repair damaged tissues and
parts.
 2.Permanent Tissues
• tissues are already specialize for a particular function and cease to
divide are called permanent tissues.
• can be composed of living or dead cells that are already
permanent positioned in a plant and can be classified as either
simple or complex

VASCULAR
TISSUE
 Vascular Tissue
• considered as complex permanent tissue
• provascular meristem- the counterpart of the ground meristem in
the vascular tissue
XYLEM

• Responsible for upward transport of water and minerals from the roots to
the shoots and leaves.
• Composed of treachery elements, fibers, and parenchyma cells.
Tracheids

• Long thin cells with tapered ends that are connected by pits.
• Trachery Elements are considered dead.
PHLOEM

• –Sugar-conducting cells of the phloem. Responsible for transporting photosynthetic

products like carbohydrates.
PHLOEM

• Sieve-tube elements are alive at functional

maturity, though they lack organelles
• Sieve plates are the porous end walls that allow
fluid to flow between cells along the sieve tube
• Each sieve-tube element has a companion cell
whose nucleus and ribosomes serve both cells
Dermal Tissue
•In nonwoody plants, the dermal tissue system consists of the epidermis
•A waxy coating called the cuticle helps prevent water loss from the epidermis
•In woody plants, protective tissues called periderm replace the epidermis in older regions
of stems and roots
•Trichomes are outgrowths of the shoot epidermis and can help with insect defense
Secondary growth increases the diameter of stems and
roots in woody plants

•Secondary growth occurs in stems and roots of woody plants but

rarely in leaves
•The secondary plant body consists of the tissues produced by the
vascular cambium and cork cambium
•Secondary growth is characteristic of gymnosperms and many
eudicots, but not monocots
