Coursework help- What factors affect the growth of the (shoot) Apical meristem of a sweet chestnut tree?

[vickey]

Hi, I am having trouble understanding what factors affect the growth of the apical meristem of plants in general i.e is it sunlight , temperature?

Its school work so I will prod rather than give you an answer. Its a stem so think where the stem is, also as the question states a type of tree think of the cycle of the tree.

Sunlight in a roundabout way is a factor as well as tempreture, thesse all cause the plant to do something, its this doing something you need to look at. Take a look at hormones for a start point
