Histological foundations of differentiation and development in plants

  • Chapter
Differenzierung und Entwicklung / Differentiation and Development

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Pflanzenphysiologie / Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((532,volume 15))

  • 1209 Accesses

Abstract

Growth rarely occurs as a mere, amorphous increase in mass; it is usually associated with organized development. Differences may be noted in the amount, distribution, and character of the growth processes. These gradually lead to differentiation of the internal structure and the external form of the plant1.
