Chapter 28.3, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Stems are located above the soil surface, which supports the plant to stand straight and hold the leaves, flowers and fruits. The stem helps the leaves to be exposed to light and provides a place for the flowers and fruits. Buds are small lateral protruding parts of the stem that develops to flower, leaf and shoot. These arise from meristem tissue.

Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?
Compare monocot, herbaceous dicot and woody dicot stems. Indicate presence or absence of the
indicated plant parts or provide a brief description of each.

With a simple leaf a terminal bud will be located at the end of the stem. Buds are not located at the tips of compound leaves. Eudicots have compound leaves and monocots have simple leaves. Simple leaves are arranged alternately on a stem, but leaflets have an opposite arrangement on a rachis. Axillary buds are located where the leaf attaches to the stem. Leaflets of compound leaves do not have axillary buds. Simple leaves are larger than leaflets.arrow_forward
