Across
  1. 2. morphogenetic response to a stimulus that results in the organs, embryos, or whole plants
  2. 5. Organ formation through dedifferentiation of differentiated cells and reorganization of cell division to create particular organ primordia and meristems
  3. 7. Group of plant growth regulators that regulate growth and shoot morphogenesis and stimulate cell division
  4. 8. Potential of plant cells to alter their metabolism, growth, and development to best suit their environment
  5. 10. Structure with both apical and basal meristem regions, which are capable of forming shoot and root, respectively
  6. 13. Potential of a plant cell to develop into an entire plant if suitably stimulated
  7. 14. Terminal portion of a shoot (0.5-5 mm) comprising the meristem (0.1-0.5 mm) together with primordial and developing leaves and adjacent stem tissue
  8. 16. State of cell development characterized by isodiametric cells, with very little or no vacuoles and large nuclei
  9. 19. Regeneration through growth and proliferation of existing meristems
  10. 21. Cells of plants (fungi or bacteria) in which the cell walls have been removed, but the plasma membranes are intact
  11. 23. Tissue taken from its donor plant
  12. 24. Propagation of plant cells, tissues and organs on nutrient medium under aseptic conditions
  13. 25. Process whereby somatic cells differentiate into somatic embryos
Down
  1. 1. Culture of individual cells derived from explant tissue
  2. 3. Actively dividing and undifferentiated cells at the apices of shoots and roots (0.1-0.5 mm)
  3. 4. Developing from unusual points of origin, such as shoot tissues, root tissues or callus or embryos, from sources other than zygotes
  4. 6. Synthetic plant hormone that strongly affects growth (i.e. cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins)
  5. 9. Process in which differentiated cells that have lost their ability to divide are reformed from dedifferentiated cells and acquire the ability to perform specific functions
  6. 11. Nutritive solution, solid or liquid, for culturing cells.
  7. 12. Process by which cells derived from root apical and shoot apical meristems and cambium mature to perform specific functions
  8. 15. Group of plant growth regulators that promotes callus growth, cell division, cell enlargement, and lateral rooting
  9. 17. Part of the plant stem from which a leaf, shoot or flower originates
  10. 18. Unorganized, proliferating mass of differentiated plant cells
  11. 20. Process by which mature cells return to a meristematic condition and develop a new growing point
  12. 22. Free from contamination caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms
