Summary Introduction
To review:
The tissues that are generated in the SAMs (shoot apical meristems) and RAMs (root apical meristems) of the 300-year-old oak tree are embryonic.
Introduction:
A meristem refers to the tip of the plant shoot or root containing undifferentiated cells, which release auxin. This leads to the increase in the length of the shoot or root. There are two types of apical meristems, namely, SAMs and RAMs.
