Abstract
The summit of roots of various plant species may be occupied by a sing le, rapidly proliferating tetrahedral apical cell (as in ferns), or by a multicellular and slowly proliferating quiescent centre (as in angi osperms), or by intermediate types of cellular organizations. The pres ent paper attempts to deduce the phylogeny of these various types of c ellular patterning at the root apex.
