meristem culture. (shoot-tip culture) The culture of excised meristems on suitable nutrient media under aseptic conditions. The stem apex is usually used though axillary meristems may also be taken.Often gibberellic acid must be added to the medium to promote normal growth into a plantlet.shoot-tip culture) The culture of excised meristems on suitable nutrient media under aseptic conditions.

Apical meristems are the completely undifferentiated (indeterminate) meristems in a plant. These differentiate into three kinds of primary meristems. The primary meristems in turn produce the two secondary meristem types.These secondary meristems are also known as lateral meristems because they are involved in lateral growth. At the meristem summit, there is a small group of slowly dividing cells, which is commonly called the central zone.Cells of this zone have a stem cell function and are essential for meristem maintenance.hese secondary meristems are also known as lateral meristems because they are involved in lateral growth.
