Cauline meristems in leptosporangiate ferns: structure, lateral appendages, and branching
Keyword(s):
This study on shoot apical meristem structures in leptosporangiate ferns examines the precise initiation of lateral appendages in the meristems. Interrelationships and early development of the main stem, fronds, and branches are described. Ontogeny and histology within the apical meristem must be considered in a reasonable morphological interpretation of the adult plant, especially with respect to the lateral system (i.e. frond and bud assemblage) in creeping branched ferns. Key words: branching, lateral initiations, meristem structure, morphology, ontogeny.
