Question

Wound healing is mainly due to:

• A. Primary meristem
• B. Secondary meristem
• C. Intercalary meristem
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Secondary meristem

Secondary meristematic tissues are those which arise as new meristematic in non meristematic or permanent tissue, later at a certain stage of development. Sometimes the permanent tissues develop the power of division and form secondary meristems. Secondary meristems are generally lateral in position and give rise to secondary tissues which add to girth of the plant organ.
