Lateral root
Videos
Lateral roots, emerging from the pericycle, extend horizontally from the primary root and over time make up the iconic branching pattern of root systems. They contribute to anchoring the plant securel

A primordium, in embryology, is an organ or tissue in its earliest recognizable stage of development. Cells of the primordium are called primordial cells. A primordium is the simplest set of cells cap

…aspects of the cell cycle. Such control can be particularly useful, as increased auxin levels help to promote lateral root development, in young leaf primordia. This allows coordination of root development with leaf development, enabling a balance between carbon and nitrogen metabolism to be established. The…
