The length of different internodes in a culm of sugarcane is variable because of
-
- shoot apical meristem
- position of axillary buds
- size of leaf lamina at the node below each internode
- intercalary meristem
Correct Option: D
The length of different internodes in a culm of sugarcane is variable because of intercalary meristem. Intercalary meristem is not a part of apical meristem. It occurs in the internodes of grasses (sugarcane) between leaf nodes and enables longitudinal growth of the stem.
