Growth in Animals Determinate: Finite Size, Finite Shape, Number and Positions of Organs May have Larval Stages, Metamorphosis, but each is determinate Non-local regions of Cell Replication Growth in Plants Indeterminate: Final size, number of organs influenced by environment Type of Organs influenced by environment Local regions of Cell Replication Repetitive Growth in Shoot Apex and in Radial/Lateral Meristems Continuous Growth in Root Apex
Growth in Plants Local Increase in Cell Number (Cell Replication) Local Increase in Cell Size (Elongation)
Introduction to Plant Growth Repetitive Production of Phytomeres: a Structural Module created by a Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM) Growth of shoots or roots in the Long or Axial Dimension is due to Shoot Apical Meristems (SAMs) and Root Apical Meristems (RAMs) These are regions at the apex that contain Stem Cells that replicate to form Daughter Cells while maintaining the Stem Cells As they are born and elongate, daughter cells of SAMs displace the SAMs upward and RAMs downward
Region where axillary SAM will form Shoot SAM Root RAM Repetitive Growth From Shoot Apical Meristems (SAMs) Nonrepetitive Growth From Root Apical Meristems (RAMs) Growth from Apical Meristems and LDO Primordia
Internode Phytomere Node Axillary SAM Apical End/ Apex /Medial Position Radial/Lateral / Lateral Position /Adaxial/ Top Long Axis = Axial Axillary Position/ Axil Lateral Determinate Organ (LDO) /Abaxial/ Bottom Basal End/ Base Axes in Plants
SAM Daughter Cells form the Four Parts of the Phytomere Node: On a stem, the point of insertion of a Lateral Determinate Organ Lateral Determinate Organ (LDO): Leaf, Petal, etc. inserted into the Node. Some consider the LDO to be part of the Node. Axillary Shoot Apical Meristem (Axillary SAM): in the axil defined by the distal-most position between the Internode and LDO Internode: Portion of stem between Nodes The phytomere derives from the same group of founder cells In eudicots, the phytomere consists of a node, its axillary SAM, and the internode above the node In maize (a monocot), it includes the internode below the node

Secondary Shoot Tertiary Shoot Two axillary SAMs per node in Secondary Shoots: One remains dormant. It is not random; they are on the same side! Tertiary Shoot One axillary SAM per node in Tertiary Shoots: remains dormant. If two axillary SAMs per node, then one grows out. Phyllostachys aureaCarrière ex A. & C.

Phase Transitions Induction of Flowering Converts Apical and Axillary AdultVeg-SAMs into one of several Reproductive SAMs JuvV-SAM AdultV-SAM Subflor-SAM Floresc-SAMFlower-SAM Large variation in position and complexity of the shoots that bear flowers: from axillary, solitary flowers to axillary and terminal, highly branched and complex shoots bearing many flowers
Phase Transitions The SAM undergoes Phase Transitions: transitions in the Identity of the SAM as evidenced by the Identity of the Phytomeres (including the axillary SAMs) that the SAM produces Regardless of the Phase of the SAM, it still produces phytomeres composed of a node, internode, axillary SAM and (usually) a LDO, although their names may be phase specific Juvenile Vegetative Shoots - can branch from axillary JuvV-SAMs Adult Vegetative Shoots - can branch from axillary AdultV-SAMs Subflorescence Shoots - can branch from axillary Subflor-SAMs Florescence Shoots - cannot branch; axillary SAMs are Flower SAMs Flower Shoots - cannot branch; no axillary SAMs
