What does TELOME mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanytechnical
In plant evolution theory, one of the simple forked branch tips from which the stems and leaves of land plants are thought to have developed.
The telome concept was proposed by the German botanist Walter Zimmermann to explain how early vascular plants with bare forked stems could give rise to plants with true leaves. In his scheme such tips could fork, flatten and fuse, producing the varied leaf forms seen today. Now the telome belongs mostly to textbook accounts of plant evolution.
