Apical control refers to the regulatory mechanisms that manage the growth and development of the apical meristem in plants, which is responsible for the formation of new shoots and leaves. This control is essential for maintaining the plant's structure, optimizing light capture, and ensuring proper resource allocation. It involves various hormonal signals, particularly auxins and cytokinins, that influence cell division and differentiation. Additionally, apical control can affect branching patterns and overall plant architecture.
