Although animals are dependent on a similar mechanism, plants are possible to take advantage of this mechanism in a more optimal way. This may explain why many plants can survive for hundreds of years, which is quite rare for the animals concerned. Plants, with a static organizer, depend on the newly generated cells, in terms of growth and development. A small part of specialized cells existed in plant growth axis drive the process, which enables these stem cells can be divided at a high frequency. Read the reference (
