In contrast, the portion of stem that lies between two successive nodes or joints is
called internode.
When taking
cuttings,
roots form most readily from this point as the node
correspond to an area of
activecells that
will induce
rooting when are exposed.
A node is the
the branching points or vertex on on a
phylogenetic tree (cladogram)
which is supported by
synapomorphies, a node is commonly used to
represent the split of one
lineage to form two or more lineages
(internal node) or the lineage at the present time (terminal node).
Node-based Clade: A
clade originating from a particular node on a
phylogenetic tree; a clade encompassing a particular node on a phylogenetic tree and all
branches (internodes) and nodes descended from
that node; a clade whose name is defined using a node-based definition.
