Apical meristem.
What else can I help you with?
Where does does plant growth occur?
Primary growth in plants occurs at the apical meristem.
Why do potato plants follow the sun?
I suspect that like most green plants the potato has gibberellins (growth hormones) in the stem that migrate to the side of the stem opposite the sun. On that side they stimulate stem growth, causing the stem to bend towards the sun.
Increases in stem length occur at the?
Increases in stem length occur at the apical meristem, which is a region of cell division located at the tip of the stem. This meristem is responsible for producing new cells that contribute to the growth and elongation of the stem.
Where on plants does photosynthesis occur?
Typically on the leaves, although some plants have modifications that allow for photosynthesis in the stem.
Why do monocot plants not show secondary growth?
In a monocot stem, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. However, because the of the lack of vascular cambium, no secondary growth occurs in the monocot stem. As a result of increased cell size, the monocot stem will only increase in height only.
Does a plant growth occur at the plant's stem leaves flowers and roots?
Yes plant growth occurs at stem, leaves, flowers and roots. The flower after fertilization grow in to the fruit.

How do the lack of secondary growth increase stem width?
Lack of secondary growth in plants means that the stems do not thicken through the formation of additional vascular tissues, such as xylem and phloem, which typically occurs in woody plants. Instead, these plants may rely on primary growth, which primarily elongates stems and leaves. In some herbaceous plants, the absence of secondary growth can lead to a wider stem base due to the accumulation of water and nutrients within the existing tissues, promoting a more robust stem structure. However, this width is generally limited compared to woody plants with significant secondary growth.
Where are auxins produce?
Auxins are substances that promote stem elongation and inhibit the growth of lateral buds. They are produced in the stem buds and root tips of plants.
Where on the plant does photosynthesis occur?
Typically on the leaves, although some plants have modifications that allow for photosynthesis in the stem.
