New cells in plants
into cells of roots, leaves or flowers.
Unlike animal cells some plant cells remain
and can develop into any type of plant cell.
The presence of these unspecialised cells means that
of a plant with desirable features can be easily produced from
.
Unlike animals, most plants continue to
in height and width throughout their lives.
Plant
divide to produce cells that result in increased height, length of roots, and girth of the plant.
If the
conditions in their environment are changed, unspecialised plant cells can
into a range of other tissues.
These include
and phloem and organs such as leaves,
and flowers.
Small pieces of plant tissue (
) can be treated with
. They develop into whole plants. These plants are a clone of the
plant.
Phototropism increases the plant’s chance of

Light affects the distribution of
in the shoot tip. The auxin spreads
, producing
growth towards the light.
