<P> Plant stem cells are innately undifferentiated cells located in the meristems of plants . Plant stem cells serve as the origin of plant vitality, as they maintain themselves while providing a steady supply of precursor cells to form differentiated tissues and organs in plants . Two distinct areas of stem cells are recognised: the apical meristem and the lateral meristem . </P> <P> Plant stem cells are characterized by two distinctive properties, which are: the ability to create all differentiated cell types and the ability to self - renew such that the number of stem cells is maintained . Plant stem cells never undergo aging process but immortally give rise to new specialized and unspecialized cells, and they have the potential to grow into any organ, tissue, or cell in the body . Thus they are totipotent cells equipped with regenerative powers that facilitate plant growth and production of new organs throughout lifetime . </P>
