Topic: Indeterminate growth


  
  Meristem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A meristem is a tissue in plants consisting of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) and found in zones of the plant where growth can take place - the roots and shoots.
The most general form of meristem is the apical meristem (also called terminal meristem), found in buds at the tips of shoots, and at the root tip, and responsible for shoot and root growth, respectively.
Secondary growth does not occur in all plants; those without it are called herbaceous.

I'm not quite sure how to define growth habit on its own, but perhaps it will become clear upon discussing the technical terms.
growth has a definite shape that it "wants" to end up in.
growth simply expands in all directions for as long as its growth spurt lasts.

Growth data on G. pardalis, the continental Sahelian Giant Tortoise Geochelone sulcata and the insular Aldabran giant tortoise Geochelone gigantea are reanalysed, and their growth patterns compared.
Geochelone pardalis from Somaliland had similar juvenile growth rates and asymptotic sizes to other populations, and their large mean size was due to high survival rates and continued linear growth after the asymptote.
The growth rate of juveniles was not affected by population density, so that the Grande Terre population had higher growth rates of juveniles relative to larger tortoises and was the only group to approach Bertalanffy-type growth.

 Royal Horticultural Society - Advice: Choosing the right kind of tomato
There are two main types of tomato plant that have different growth habits: indeterminate (also called vine or cordon) tomatoes or determinate (bush) tomatoes.
The flowers and fruit are borne on trusses that grow from the leaf axils of the main stem.
Indeterminate tomatoes will produce fruit regularly for the duration of the season, whereas bush cultivars produce fruit over a more limited period, often resulting in a glut.

 Genetics and Molecular Biology - Orthogonal projections and bootstrap resampling procedures in the study of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The variance component of the distance measures attributable to indeterminate growth within the populations was found to be substantial, although the ordination of the populations was not affected, as evidenced by the relative and absolute positions of the centroids.
The effect of within-group size attributable to growth on the analysis of population differentiation patterns was then investigated by comparing a set of quantitative continuous traits not corrected for size effects with the same data corrected for growth effects using Burnaby's (1966) procedure of orthogonal projections.
The presence of such covariances among cranial distance variables that reflects their joint dependence on growth within populations is mirrored by the vector plot in Figure 1B, which, taken at face value, suggests that the two groups of populations differ in cranial size alone.

The life cycle of a cotton crop is the course of growth whereby plants develop from the seedling stage to the vegetative, reproductive, cutout, and finally, the maturation stage.
Due to the indeterminate growth habits of cotton and the presence of adequate environmental conditions (temperature, light, nutrients, etc.), vegetative organs will continue to grow until competition for carbohydrates by reproductive organs is so great as to eventually stop vegetative development.
Management objectives during this phase of crop growth are to: (1) protect the last harvestable bolls from insect damage, (2) determine when to terminate insecticide applications used to protect the bolls, and (3) determine the proper timing for the application of defoliants and boll openers.

Indeterminate shoots: Avocados usually have indeterminate shoots on strong, upright flowering terminals that produce a vegetative shoot out of the end of the flower.
This indeterminate growth is the first vegetative shoot to appear in spring during or immediately after flowering.
The strong vertical growth of this bud often suppresses secondary regrowth of laterals and reduces tree complexity and fruiting potential.

Growth regulators, such as mepiquat chloride, are generally applied to cotton to slow internode elongation, especially for well-fertilized irrigated cotton.
The “zig-zag” growth habit is a consequence of the stop-and-go growth of the fruiting branch.
Cotton growth milestones are often given in terms of days after planting or between growth stages, but the development rate of cotton is strongly influenced by temperature.

Growth, development and yield of soybeans are a result of a variety's genetic potential interacting with environment and farming practices.
Many southern varieties are determinate in growth and cease vegetative growth when the main stem terminates in a cluster of mature pods.
Indeterminate varieties develop leaves and flowers simultaneously throughout a portion of their reproductive period, with one to three pods at the terminal apex.

The total growth and yield of the crop may vary widely depending upon location, soil, planting date, variety selection, weed competition, diseases, pest injury, fertility levels, etc. This level of environmental sensitivity often varies according to the particular growth stage of the crop.
For indeterminates, the flowers are borne in a cluster at the nodes, and at maturity these plants tend to have a sparse and even distribution of pods at all nodes.
A similar V or R growth stage for an entire field of soybeans may be assigned when 50% or more of the plants have reached or exceeded the most advanced growth stage.

When conditions are favorable and if buds have not become fully dormant, lammas growth (also called second flushing) may occur, when buds break and grow in year of formation.
Adventitious buds are buds that arise spontaneously in deep or peripheral tissue on roots or stems, often in response to wounds (e.g., root suckers in aspen).
All species are indeterminate in the first year, but many are determinate in subsequent years (e.g., Douglas-fir, spruces, oaks).

 BSCI 124 Introduction to Plant Growth
Plant growth is often indeterminate; even an adult plant retains tiny regions of embryonic tissue called meristems that are capable of developing into new parts of the plant.
Although the plant does grow according to a set of rules (similar to a fractal), the plant is growing new shoots and roots for as long as it is alive.
Thus the overall shape of the plant is not determined in advance, and the growth is said to be indeterminate.
