Question

What is the function of region of maturation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cell differentiation takes place in the zone of maturation. This is where cells take on an identity about what function they will serve within the plant's root system. Cells become parenchyma cells, to store and move nutrients.

Answer 2

Function of region of maturation:

• There is a zone in the plant cell where newly grown plants cells mature and become elongated.  

• Actually plants have apical meristematic tissue in their root and the shoot apex.  

• Now, these cells divide very fast. As a result the cells grow in all dimensions in this zone of maturation.  

• The volume to surface area ratio of the cell is increased in this zone of maturation.  

• Also, it is in this phase that the cells become rich in nuclear materials like chromatins.  

• The cells becomes ready for the next cell division.
