Germination!

Below are some cool germination videos. The first shows hypogeal germination of runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus) seeds, and the second shows epigeal germination of Phaseolus vulgaris, the common string bean. Look at those lateral roots! Do your remember what latent meristematic tissue those arise from? What other morphological features can you identify?
