	Plant Life Forms (Growth forms)
		A plant life form is usually understood to be a growth form which displays an obvious relationship to important environmental factors.
		A geophyte is an herbaceous plant form that responds to an unfavorable season by dying back to an underground structure, be it a root or modified underground stem.
		Growth form may include life history strategy of a plant, size, life-span, woodiness of a taxon (herb, annual, perennial, herbaceous perennial, woody perennial, tree, or vine).

		Normal shoot growth of pines in the tropics is similar to normal growth in the temperate zone.
		Shortly thereafter the recently formed buds expand to lengthen further the terminal leader and to produce a whorl of lateral branches.
		Growth promoters, such as auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, as well as growth inhibitors appear to be variously involved.

		Growth management is defined as the regulation of growth to control the type, location, quality, scale, rate, sequence or time of development.
		The restrictions contained in a traditional zoning ordinance are a form of growth management, but the term implies a much greater degree of community guidance in development decisions.
		Growth management systems are closely related to comprehensive land use plans and specific development policies.

	Kalevi Kull - Growth form parameters of clonal herbs
		I agree with Du Rietz (1931) that growth forms should not be based on (established or supposed) adaptations to the environment’ (Barkman 1988, p.
		Several large-scale classifications of life forms and growth forms have been worked out in recent decades (Barkman 1988; Orshan 1986; Aleyev 1986), in addition to the classical systems (Raunkiaer 1934; Serebryakov 1962).
		This approach is in concordance with the views of T.Lippmaa, who emphasised the importance of building the life form system inductively, beginning from the smaller taxa, in contrast to the classical deductive life form systems (Masing 1961).

		The physical growth of the infant was also assessed as a good predictor of general health and nutritional status.
		The parent was asked to undress the infant down to his/her diapers and to check that the diaper was dry.

		The important role that their work might have in contemporary debates on urban form is discussed in relation to emergent methods of computational modeling and analysis.
		According to the SI, what had been previously neglected in all other urban analysis was a careful consideration of the physical form of the city in alliance with its pliable system of currents, flows and intensities.
		Attempting to represent particular external trajectories and internal flows of the environment under study, lines of force and movement were diagrammed and superimposed onto a map of the area.

	Anecdotal Evidence: On Growth and Form
		In my experience, few scientists and engineers are schooled in the histories of their professions, and fewer still have read deeply in their classical texts.
		As I recall, Kenner likened Pound’s sense of metamorphosis, of matter changing form under the influence of forces physical and aesthetic, to Thompson’s.
		Physics and mechanics help determine form – that is, successful adaptation – and successful form is replicated by genetics.

	Amazon.com: On Growth and Form: The Complete Revised Edition: Books: D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Scottish embryologist D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948) grew up in the newly cast shadow of Darwinism, and he took issue with some of the orthodoxies of the day--not because they were necessarily wrong, he said, but because they violated the spirit of Occam's razor, in which simple explanations are preferable to complex ones.
		In the case of such subjects as the growth of eggs, skeletons, and crystals, Thompson cited mathematical authority: these were matters of "economy and transformation," and they could be explained by laws governing surface tension and the like.
		On Growth and Form written by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson is a classic and should be found on the bookshelf of any well read person.

	Plant growth, plant cell, plant cytoskeleton
		When I studied plants, I used the techniques of cell biology and biochemistry to examine a few aspects of why/how plants are shaped the way they are.
		Unlike bending/straightening an elbow, growth is not reversible; if this plant were rotated, its new growth would adjust accordingly, but the old growth would not be altered.
		This is an example of "negative gravitropism"; i.e., growth away from the force of gravity.

		The chapter on transformations is perhaps the most remarkable, with diagrams showing how differences in the forms of, say, species of fish can be construed in terms of distortions of the co-ordinate systems onto which they are mapped.
		A fish is drawn onto a squared grid which is then stretched or shifted in specific ways so that the image then can be identified as that of a related species.

		And this remarkable property of increasing by terminal growth, but nevertheless retaining unchanged the form of the entire figure, is characteristic of the equiangular spiral, and of no other mathematical curve."

		FRAMINGHAM, Mass., November 29, 2005 — Significant growth in the small form factor and mobile PC hard disk drive (HDD) segments will more than counterbalance flat growth in the desktop PC and enterprise HDD segments to accelerate worldwide semiconductor revenue growth through 2009, IDC forecasts.
		While the worldwide HDD semiconductor market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% from 2004 to 2009, chip revenue in the small form factor HDD will experience the healthiest growth rate with a 39.4% CAGR over the same period.
		IDC expects, small form factor HDD chip revenue will represent nearly a quarter of the market by 2009.

		Of the chemistry of his day and generation, Kant declared that it was a science, but not Science - eine Wissenschaft, aber nicht Wissenschaft - for that the criterion of true science lay in its relation to mathematics.
		In short, he is deeply reluctant to compare the living with the dead, or to explain by geometry or by mechanics the things which have their part in the mystery of life.
		But of the construction and growth and working of the body, as of all else that is of the earth earthy, physical science is, in my humble opinion, our only teacher and guide.
