Growth phenology in Pinus halepensis Mill.: apical shoot bud content and shoot elongation

Annual shoot growth components related to growth of Pinus brutia.

Shoot elongation patterns of Pinus brutia Ten. were studied in six natural populations and 10 open-pollinated families within each population. The data were collected from a provenance-progeny trial that was thinned at Ages 13 and 17 years. Annual height increment was partitioned into first flush (spring shoot) and subsequent flushes (summer shoots) and the contribution of each to annual height...

Growth, shoot phenology and physiology of diverse seed sources

mine: (1) if diverse provenances of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) respond similarly in growth, phenology and physiology to an approximately 300 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and (2) the influence of photoperiod on both provenance and provenance × CO2 interaction effects. Seedlings from provenances that originated from the Yukon (63°34′ N, 135°55′ W), British Colum...

Quantification of growth at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis

In the process of morphogenesis primordia of lateral organs, like leaves or flowers, are formed at the shoot apical meristem (SAM). In order to maintain the ability to organ formation, the SAM itself has to be self-perpetuated, i.e. its general shape and size have to be maintained, despite the fact that portions of SAM periphery are continuously used up for lateral organ formation. Thus growth ...
