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.

Cells in the meristem, however, divide and produce all of the new cells in a plant. While meristem tissue is the source of the regenerative potential of a plant, meristems also play a pivotal role in normal plant growth.ateral meristem is called the vascular cambium in many of the plants in which it is found. Secondary growth gives a plant added stability that allows for the plant to grow taller. Lastly, some plants have intercalary meristem.
