Seedling dynamics of a tropical tree: impacts of herbivory and meristem damage.
Moreover, studies describing effects of herbivores on population dynamics and community structure refer to only seed predation, seedling meristem herbivory or grazing.
It could not be determined, however, what degree of water loss had occurred in hypocotyl cells compared with those of meristems.
Each spectrum was obtained for a globoid from a different spongy ground meristem cell.
The data suggest that the embryo moisture content may control the extent of mitotic activity in the meristems of maturing seed.
The rot affects the meristem in young palms more frequently than in adult palms.
The lack of axillary meristems on the main stem make palms inherently susceptible to die standing from insect attacks.
For instance, asynchronous differentiation of rachis branch meristem from the primary inflorescence meristems is acropetal.
