MERISTEMATIC TISSUES
Substances secreted by tissues are called ergastic substances. They are absent in meristematic tissues. Any
kind of plastids are also absent in meristematic tissues. But the precursor of plastids called proplastids are
present. There are no food reserves present in them, but abundant food supply is present. The cells contain
many mitochondria, and the respiratory rate is high.
