  3. Hanstein

  4. Wolf

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • The shoot apical meristems located at the shoot tip in plants are derived from the apical meristematic tissues according to the histogen theory given by Hanstein in 1868.
  • It consists of three distinct layers:-
1) Dermatogen is the primary meristem that forms the outer most layer of a plant or a plant part and forms the epidermis.
2) Periblem is a primary meristem which is located between the plerome and the dermatogen and it forms the cortex.
3) Plerome is the primary meristem that forms the central core of a plant or plant part which gives rise to the stele (includes the vascular tissue, pith and pericycle).
  • The part of plerome from which vascular tissues are formed is called procambium.
So, the correct answer is 'Hanstein'
