Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Basal meristem has organogenetic and thickening attributes.
- Observation Root primordia arise from young derivatives arranged in radial files and have a three-layered apical meristem.
- Observation Primordia produce derivatives, procambium and root cap but lack cortex and epidermis.
- Observation Primordia shift toward the corm surface before becoming roots.
- Observation The comparison does not support interpreting the roots as leaf homologues.
