Solution
The correct option is C Clowes
- The quiescent centre is that part of the root-promeristems of higher plants
- They may consist of four cells (minimum) or can go up to 600 cells which show very low mitotic activity.
- In closed meristem, QC is hemispherical in shape whereas, in open meristem it is disc-shaped.
- The QC is unusual in the centre of shoots.
- Frederick Albert Lionel Clowes was a British biologist.
- He proposed the term Quiescent centre or cytogenerative centre which represents the region of an apical meristem of the root where cell division is very slow.
- So, the correct answer is 'Clowes'
