“The cells of the apical meristems are typically small and nearly spherical. They have a dense cytoplasm and relatively few small vacuoles (watery saclike enclosures). Some of these cells, known as initials, maintain the meristem as a continuing source of new cells and may undergo mitosis (cell division) many times before differentiating into the specific cells required for root or shoot growth.” #biobasement #tissueculture #defoliation #meristem #undifferentiatedcells #420friendly (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQlT9BMBGr/?utm_medium=tumblr
