In pines, the leaf primordia develop into buds, which eventually elongate into shoots, then stems, then branches. [5] Though primordia are typically only found in new flower and leaf growth, root primordia in plants can also be found, but are typically referred to as lateral root primordium or adventitious roots.
Such control can be particularly useful, as increased auxin levels help to promote lateral root development, in young leaf primordia. This allows coordination of root development with leaf development, enabling a balance between carbon and nitrogen metabolism to be established.
Fourteen days later, leaves have developed (right). Shoot apical meristems are the source of all above-ground organs, such as leaves and flowers. Cells at the shoot apical meristem summit serve as stem cells to the surrounding peripheral region, where they proliferate rapidly and are incorporated into differentiating leaf or flower primordia.
This variation is most easily seen in the leaves of a plant, though other organs such as stems and flowers may show similar variation. There are three primary causes of this variation: positional effects, environmental effects, and juvenility.

In propagation of detached succulent leaves and leaf cuttings, the root primordia typically emerges from the basal callous tissue after the leaf primordia emerges. [ 5 ] It was known as early as 1935 that when indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA), also known as auxin , is applied to the stem of root cuttings, there is an increase in the average number ...
5. Low Humidity. Light brown spots scattered across fiddle leaf fig leaves can be caused by dry air. If the brown spots in question have a pox-like look instead of being in a single area of the ...
Axillary buds are located at the intersection of the leaf and stem of a plant. The axillary bud (or lateral 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 (stems and branches) or reproductive shoots . Once formed, a ...
