This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Plant Structure and Growth- Group 2, Mycorrhizal Associations Def Symbiotic interactions with soil fungi that increase a plamt's ability to absorb minerals, Primary Growth Lengthens Roots, Dermal IN woody plants Protective tissues replace the epidermis in older regions of stems and roots, Shoots Include Leaves, The zone of cell division Concentrated Mitosis, Roots Grow in 3 zones behind the tip, Xylem What does it do? It transports sugars, the products of photosynthesis, from where they are made to where they are needed, Leaf primordia Arise From the flanks of the dome of the apical meristem, Primary Growth ???? Structures Involved, Indeterminate growth Definition Growth that occurs throughout the plant's life, Phloem What does it do? It transports sugars, the products of photosynthesis, from where they are made to where they are needed, Dermal Serves as The outer protective covering of the plant, Shoots Derives from Shoot apical meristem, It includes cells specialized for fuctions Such as Support, Is the first root to emerge from a germinating seed Branches to form Lateral Roots, The zone of elongation Puches The tip farther into the soil, 3 zones behind the tip Zone 3 The zone of differentiation or maturation, Taproot Systems The role of absorption Occurs primarily near the tips of elongating roots, Tissues Type Dermal, Stems Def Is a plant organ bearing leaves and buds
