define axillary bud
Answers
Answer:
The axillary bud is an embryonic or organogenic shoot located in the axil of a leaf. Each bud has the potential to form shoots, and may be specialized in producing either vegetative shoots or reproductive shoots. Once formed, a bud may remain dormant for some time, or it may form a shoot immediately.
An axillary bud is a sprout that develops in the axil of a plant, which is the angle formed by the upper side of the stem and an outgrowing leaf or branch.
An axillary bud, sometimes called a compound bud, is found at the section of a grape vine where the leaf stem meets with a branch. Each leaf of a grape vine begins as an axillary bud. The axillary bud has two parts, the lateral bud and the dormant bud. The latent bud will grow immediately, while the dormant bud will remain dormant.
