  • Pinching out the shoot tips of young plants stimulates them to produce more side-shoots bearing lots of flowers. (rhs.org.uk)
  • Palms don't have buds along their stems, so if their growing tip is removed, they can't produce replacement side-shoots and are likely to die. (rhs.org.uk)

  • The gynoecium is often referred to as the " female " portion of the flower, although rather than directly producing female gametes (i.e. egg cells ), the gynoecium produces megaspores , each of which develops into a female gametophyte which then produces egg cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • Plants have growing zones, called meristems, in their stems and roots. (rhs.org.uk)
  • In plants, this occurs in growing zones called meristems and is controlled by three hormones: auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. (rhs.org.uk)
