Chapter 36.5, Problem 2SB

Summary Introduction

To review:

The two basic mechanisms of morphogenesis in plants and the patterns of cell division by which a part of a plant grows in (a) length and (b) girth.

Introduction:

Morphogenesis is the process by which cell division leads to characteristic growth patterns in a plant tissue, with different parts developing differently as per need. It involves two basic mechanisms, that is, oriental cell division and cell expansion.
