Apical Dominance: Regulation in the Apical Meristem Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions What is the function of shoot apical meristem? The shoot apical meristem has two primary functions. The first function is to produce more cells to grow in length, and the other function is to regulate ...

Ian MSussex,Nancy MKerk, inCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001 A founding concept in our understanding of the control ofaxillary buddevelopment was that of ‘apical dominance’: a strongly growing main shoot tip suppresses the outgrowth ofaxillary buds. According to this concept, the auxinindo...
Apical dominance was one of the first developmental phenomenon shown to be regulated by plant hormones. Auxin, derived from the apical bud, moves basipetally in the stem through the polar auxin transport stream and inhibits the growth of axillary buds, whereas cytokinin derived mainly from the ro...
An axillary bud is formed at the corner between a leaf and the stem, giving rise to the branch or lateral shoot. The auxiliary bud remains dormant for some time due to a phenomenon called apical dominance. By removing the shoot tip, growth of these auxiliary buds occurs, thereby producing ...
