Apical meristems <strong>of</strong> most <strong>plant</strong>s generate 3 types <strong>of</strong> tissue systems:<br />
<strong>The</strong>se tissue systems develop from precursor <strong>tissues</strong>:<br />
protoderm<br />
Dermal<br />
tissue<br />
Ground<br />
tissue<br />
Vascular<br />
tissue<br />
In nonwoody <strong>plant</strong>s, the dermal tissue system consists <strong>of</strong> the epidermis<br />
In woody <strong>plant</strong>s, protective <strong>tissues</strong> called periderm replace the<br />
epidermis in older regions <strong>of</strong> stems <strong>and</strong> roots<br />
procambium<br />
<strong>The</strong> vascular tissue system carries out long-distance transport <strong>of</strong><br />
materials between roots <strong>and</strong> shoots<br />
<strong>The</strong> two vascular <strong>tissues</strong> are xylem <strong>and</strong> phloem<br />
xylem<br />
phloem<br />
ground meristem<br />
Secondary meristems produce wood <strong>and</strong> bark<br />
Trees, shrubs, <strong>and</strong> woody vines have 2 additional meristems:
