Question

Which of the meristem is formed due to dedifferentiation?

Answer 1

Interfascicular cambium and cork cambium:

1. In plants, the meristem is a type of tissue made up of immature, dividing cells.
2. The cells of the meristem can develop into any other tissue or organ of the plant.
3. These cells divide until they differentiate, at which point they stop dividing.
4. Dedifferentiation is a biological process in which cells migrate backward from a partially or terminally differentiated stage to a less differentiated stage within the same lineage.
5. A change in the structure, gene expression pattern, protein expression pattern, and function are all common manifestations of the condition.
6. Dedifferentiation can result in tissues such as interfascicular cambium and cork cambium.
7. In woody plants, cork cambium is the outermost lateral meristem. Cork cambium, also called phellogen, is another meristematic tissue developed in the cortex region.
8. Interfascicular Cambium is a cambium found in between vascular bundles.
9. It forms the secondary meristems. The interfascicular and fascicular cambium unite forming a continuous ring of meristematic tissue known as vascular cambium.
