Dedifferentiation in plants refers to:

1. The process where differentiated cells regain the ability to divide
2. The formation of specialised tissues from meristems
3. The loss of cellular contents during senescence
4. The conversion of meristematic cells into permanent tissues

2. Dedifferentiation: Differentiation of sieve tube elements into companion cells. Redifferentiation: Formation of primary xylem from vascular cambium.
3. Dedifferentiation: Conversion of collenchyma into sclerenchyma in response to stress. Redifferentiation: Formation of pericycle from epidermal cells.
4. Dedifferentiation: Development of root hair from epidermal cells. Redifferentiation: Formation of phloem fibers from sieve tube elements.
