31. The intercellular hyphae become established in the apical meristem and are maintained systemically within the plant. 32. :: The key to trimmability is whether apical meristem tissue remains in the untrimmed part. 33. A lateral branch from the main plant axis bears the female shoot archegonium at its meristem . 34. Shoot apical meristem gives rise to flowers and leaves while root apical meristem grows into roots. 35. Shoot apical meristem gives rise to flowers and leaves while root apical meristem grows into roots. 36. More simply stated, lateral bud formation is inhibited by the shoot apical meristem ( SAM ). 37. The proliferation and growth rates at the meristem summit usually differ considerably from those at the periphery. 38. In the shoot, the shoot apical meristems regularly produce new lateral organs ( callus ." 39. Later, it burrows into the centre of a growing shoot, feeding on the terminal meristem . 40. A vernalized meristem retains competence for as long as 300 days in the absence of an inductive signal.
