  35. Apical dominance is a phenomenon in which the apical bud tends to “dominate” stem growth in the sense that all of the axillary buds immediately below it do not grow out to form branches. Thus the stem grows tall, not wasting resources by growing wide. The idea is that auxin produced in the apical bud is transported down the stem and suppresses the outgrowth of the lateral (axillary) buds. If the tip is cut off the auxin source is removed and the buds begin to develop into branches. From: PM Ray, “The Living Plant”

  37. Root Systems Taproot system: characterized by having one main root (the taproot) from which smaller branch roots emerge. When a seed germinates, the first root to emerge is the radicle, or primary root. In conifers and most dicots, this radicle develops into the taproot. Fibrous root system: characterized by having a mass of similarly sized roots. The radicle from a germinating seed is short lived and is replaced by adventitious roots. Adventitious roots are roots that form on plant organs other than roots. Most monocots have fibrous root systems.

  38. Root System development Root tip has 4 developmental zones Root cap: Protects RAM and push Meristematic zone: Primary root Elongation zone: Rapid cell elongation, rate of division decreases with distance from meristem Maturation zone: Cells get their mature differentiated features. No lateral organs produced from apical meristem to avoid hindrance in soil penetration Branch roots arise from non growing region

  39. Cells of the root epidermis develop projections called root hairs. These elongate by “tip growth” and increase surface area for water and mineral uptake. Root hairs are found away from the root tip, in the region of maturation. Note that the root hair develops as an outgrowth from individual epidermal cells; that is, the root hair is not a cell separate from the epidermal cell. The Figure shows (bottom to top) four stages of root hair development: cell specification, root hair initiation, tip growth, and maturation.
