Description
This book presents the first general description of the quantitative methods used to analyze the processes of growth and development in plants. The focus is on "Xanthium", in which many of the analytical methods were first developed but the findings are applicable to many plant species.
Table of Contents
- Part 1 Morphological patterns of development: taxonomy
- growing "Xanthium" from seeds
- the plastochron index
- organization of the shoot apex
- leaf initiation
- origin and development of the lamina
- cell lineage in marginal and plate meristems
- thickness of the lamina
- differentiation of the laminar tissues
- leaf length
- leaf area
- cell division
- cell enlargement and differentiation
- correlation of developmental processes
- petiole structure and development
- fine structure of epithelial canal cells
- the stem. Part 2 Physiological aspects of development: incorporation of 3H-thymidine into nuclear DNA
- kinetics of 3H-thymidine incorporation
- synthesis of nuclear DNA
- metabolism of 3H-thymidine during cellular differentiation
- chloroplast growth
- chlorophyll synthesis
- respiration
- correlation of DNA synthesis, cell division, cell differentiation and enzymatic activity
- plant hormones in "Xanthium" development
- auxin effects
- phyllotaxis in "Xanthium"
- phyllotaxis in "Xanthium" plants treated with gibberellic acid
- senescence
- concluding statements on leaf development
- the use of "Xanthium" in flowering research. Appendix: monographs and selected books.
