Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli coined the term “meristem.” Meristematic tissue contains undifferentiated cells, which are the building blocks of the specialized plant structures.
Meristematic tissues contain living cells with varied shapes. They possess a large nucleus devoid of the vacuole. The cells have no intercellular space. The zone where these cells exist is known as meristem.
Characteristics of meristematic tissues:
1. They are made up of immature cells.
2. They have the capability to differentiate into any cell.
3. They are living and thin walled.
4. They are diploid in nature and show mitotic division.
5. The cells of meristematic tissues are rich in cytoplasm.
6. They do not contain reserve food materials, ER and plastids.
