Question

What will happen if intercalary meristem is absent??

Answer 1

Such an internal meristematic region is absent at the base on the adaxial side of the leaf when a flower is present and no more leaves form (Fig. 4B). Consequently, leaf production occurs in the absence of the SAM.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A part of the primary apical meristem in the monocots dissociates and lie within the internodes to form the intercalary meristem. Lateral meristem is absent in the monocots. D. Secondary meristem or the lateral meristem does not occur in monocots, so the secondary growth does not occur.
