In plants during the course of normal development quiescent cell become proliferative for instance lateral meristems Pericycle and cambium auxiliary buds and cambium retain their ability to undergo cell division and enter into the cell cycle in response to some developmental cues.
The root apex in pants contains in addition to dividing cells a group of cells called the quiescent center which do not normally undergo cell division. However if the root meristem is damaged cells in the quiescent center reenter the cell cycle and form new meristem. |
