Differentiation between root apex and shoot apex

1.	Differentiation between root apex and shoot apex
Answer» hy... friend..... Shoot Apex ······························ ⇒ Primordia of the branches develop in the axils of leaves in the REGION of apex. ⇒ Branches arise exogenously. ⇒ Plastochrons or periodic cyclic changes occur on the flanks of the shoot apex. ⇒ Shoot apex changes its activity during reproductive phase. ⇒ The organization of shoot apex can be explained on the basis of tunica CORPUS theory. ⇒ Demarcation of the different regions of the meristem and its DERIVATIVES is not elaborate. Root Apex ································· ⇒ Primordia of branches develop far behind the root apex. ⇒ Branches develop endogenously. ⇒ They are not distinguishable in the root apex. ⇒ No change occurs during reproductive phase. ⇒ The organisation of root apex can be explained on the basis of HISTOGEN theory. ⇒ There is a high degree of differentiation in the meristem and its derivatives. thankyou brainy user

Shoot Apex

······························

⇒ Primordia of the branches develop in the axils of leaves in the REGION of

apex.

⇒ Branches arise exogenously.

⇒ Plastochrons or periodic cyclic changes occur on the flanks of the shoot

apex.

⇒ Shoot apex changes its activity during reproductive phase.

⇒ The organization of shoot apex can be explained on the basis of tunica

CORPUS theory.

⇒ Demarcation of the different regions of the meristem and its DERIVATIVES is

not elaborate.

Root Apex

·································

⇒ Primordia of branches develop far behind the root apex.

⇒ Branches develop endogenously.

⇒ They are not distinguishable in the root apex.

⇒ No change occurs during reproductive phase.

⇒ The organisation of root apex can be explained on the basis of HISTOGEN

theory.

⇒ There is a high degree of differentiation in the meristem and its derivatives.
