To produce new cells at meristems, a plant needs to create more plant matter. Animals consume food to do this. Plants use photosynthesis to make their own food. They use the energy from light with carbon dioxide absorbed from the air to make sugars that can then be constructed into new ...
Plants are able to keep growing indefinitely because they have tissues made of meristems—plant stem cells—which have the unique ability to transform themselves into the various specialized cells that make up the plant, dividing whenever appropriate and producing new cells of whatever type as needed...

At the cellular level, growth is often associated with the activity of meristems that produce cells and initiate new organs. At the organ level and over short time scales (hours to days), growth is often synonymous with one-dimensional elongation (roots, stems, monocot leaves), or two-...
cells, while Cas12a/crRNA targets the gene of interest. The construct is delivered through transientAgrobacterium-mediated expression. ALS-edited transformants are selected on herbicide-supplemented media, and potential transgene-free plants, edited for the target gene, are identified if they do not ...
What causes the apical meristem to produce new cells? How is osmoregulation controlled by hormones? What structure transports sperm to the ovule in seed plants? How do plants absorb light energy from the sun? Explain the process of photosynthesis. Include all the major steps and the production...
The process, known as meristem culture, leverages the ability of plant cells to regenerate into a full plant, enabling the production of large numbers of orchids that are genetically identical to the parent plant. This method is particularly valuable for propagating rare or endangered orchid species...
A plant's endodermis is a single cylindrical layer of cells that does not permit water to flow between the cells. Not all plants have an endodermis, but the structure plays an important role in transporting water from the ground via the roots up through

How do stomata help plants maintain homeostasis? How is a cytoskeleton like your skeleton? When does the cork cambium appear during plant development? What causes the apical meristem to produce new cells? How do mast cells work? How is a plant cell like a house? How did mitochondria and chl...
