Plant tissue that is able to divide to produce new cells. Shoot or root tips contain meristematic tissue and may be used for micropropagation.

(mare-eh-stem) [Gk. merizein, to divide] Plant tissue that remains embryonic as long as the plant lives, allowing for indeterminate growth.

"growing cellular tissues of plants," 1862, formed irregularly from Greek meristos "divided, divisible" (from merizein "to divide, distribute," from meros "a part, a [..]

Group of undifferentiated cells from which new tissues are produced. Most plants have apical meristems which give rise to the primary tissues of plants, and some have secondary meristems which add woo [..]

Tip of plants growth. MH

or root tip

Any growing point of both root and stem on a plant, where active cell division is taking place. There are both apical and axillary meristems.  micro-climate

The growing tissue area in a plant; all buds contain a meristem. Areas of actively dividing cells and plant growth; capable of developing into specialized tissues. Metamorphosis

A growth point on a living plant that has the capacity to produce new shoots; made up of embryonic cells capable of dividing and forming new plant parts. Undifferentiated tissue from which new cells a [..]

Any growing point of both root and stem on a plant, where active cell division is taking place. There are both apical and axillary meristems.

Plant tissue in the process of formation; vegetative cells in a state of active division and growth, e.g., those at the apex of growing stems and roots.

plant cells that specialize in making new tissue. Different sorts of meristem make the various tissues (some for bark, some for leaves, etc.).

The collection of cells at the growing point of a plant that are capable of cell division.

lip of plant growth, branch lip.

a growing region of a plant in which cells divide to produce new cells.

A plant tissue that is capable of repeated division, by mitosis, to produce new cells.

(Gk: meros=part; merizo= to divide; meristos= divisible) a region of actively growing cells in algae. From the meristem new fronds grow.

Undifferentiated tissue, the cells of which are capable of active cell division and differentiation into specialized and permanent tissue such as shoots and roots.

(n) undifferentiated tissue from which new cells are formed, as at the tip of a stem or root

A group of Plant Cells that are capable of dividing infinitely and whose main function is the production of new Growth at the growing tip of a root or STEM. (From Concise Dictionary of Biology, 1990)
