Plant stem cells: unity and diversity by I. E. Dodueva, V. E. Tvorogova, M. Azarakhsh, M. A. Lebedeva, L. A. Lutova

“…There are numerous types of meristems: shoot and root apical meristems, lateral meristems (procambium, cambium, pericycle), as well as the so-called irregular meristems, developing under certain conditions (callus, meristems of symbiotic nodules, spontaneous and pathogen-induced tumors, etc.). For each of meristems, specific mechanisms of regulation, which are based on the interaction of plant hormones and the major groups of transcription factors, were identified. …”
