Plant Differentiation and Development

The video tutorial explains how cells differentiate into various tissue types in plants, originating from apical meristems. It covers the formation of dermal, ground, and vascular tissues, highlighting the roles of guard cells, trichomes, and vessel elements. The process of dedifferentiation and redifferentiation is discussed, with examples like cork cambium. The tutorial also explores plant development, emphasizing intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and the concept of plasticity, where plants adapt to environmental changes.
