    A basal shoot emerging from the base of a juvenile tree. Basal shoots, root sprouts, adventitious shoots, and suckers are words for various kinds of shoots that grow from adventitious buds on the base of a tree or shrub, or from adventitious buds on its roots.

  4. Biomass allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_allocation

    Because roots are seldom harvested, the harvest index is the amount of marketable product (often the seeds), relative to the total above-ground biomass. Alternative terminology that has been used are Leaf, Stem and Root Mass Ratios, or shoot:root or root:shoot ratios.

  5. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    Growth from any such meristem at the tip of a root or shoot is termed primary growth and results in the lengthening of that root or shoot. Secondary growth results in widening of a root or shoot from divisions of cells in a cambium. [9] In addition to growth by cell division, a plant may grow through cell elongation. This occurs when individual ...

    Growth from any such meristem at the tip of a root or shoot is termed primary growth and results in the lengthening of that root or shoot. Secondary growth results in widening of a root or shoot from divisions of cells in a cambium. [8] In addition to growth by cell division, a plant may grow through cell elongation.

  7. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves, flowers and fruits, transports water and dissolved substances between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem, engages in photosynthesis, stores nutrients, and produces new living tissue. [1]

  8. Tuber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuber

    As the main shoot develops from the tuber, the base of the shoot close to the tuber produces adventitious roots and lateral buds on the shoot. The shoot also produces stolons that are long etiolated stems. The stolon elongates during long days with the presence of high auxins levels that prevent root growth off of the stolon. Before new tuber ...

  9. Cutting (plant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(plant)

    The cutting is able to produce new roots, usually at the node. Root cuttings, in which a section of root is buried just below the soil surface, and produces new shoots. [27] Scion cuttings are used in grafting. Leaf cuttings, in which a leaf is placed on moist soil. These have to develop both new stems and new roots.
